After you fall from 5,000 meters, a mobile phone still works. The smartphone in question fell from the passenger cabin of an Alaska Airlines Boeing, the door of which opened mid-flight on Friday and became detached from the plane’s fuselage.

A netizen recounted Sunday on X, formerly Twitter, that he found an iPhone on the side of a road near Portland, Oregon, its screen covered in drops and showing an airline email about with the luggage.

“In flight mode, half battery,” wrote Sinathan Bates in X, not hiding his excitement at finding a phone that “survived” a drop from about 5,000 meters intact.

In a photo you can see the screen working without any problems and the plug of the charging cable that has been cut.

“Thank you for helping us!” wrote today on the same social media the head of the US Transportation Security Administration, Jennifer Homdy, who has taken over the investigation of the incident. “I would love to meet you.”

On Friday night, the door of a Boeing 737 MAX 9 of the American company Alaska Airlines opened and detached from the fuselage mid-flight over Portland, causing depressurization in the cabin and creating the effect of suction which, as reported by American media citing witnesses passengers, had the result of tearing the shirt of a minor and as everything seems to end up in the void the mobile phone that was being charged at that time.

The accident, a new malfunction of the 737 MAX 9, caused some Boeings to be grounded pending an inspection process imposed by civil aviation authorities.
