Well, that's not what I had in mind with the original description. All
of those instances have one thing in common; that the people who survived
were ALL still inside some part of the airplane.
What I was looking for was a "naked" fall (not inside a part of an
aircraft) of 20,000 without anything to hang onto.

The one I recalled without googling for it was the flight attendant.
Doesn't she hold a Guinness world record?

I'd sure like to know who survived a free fall from 20,000 feet without a
parachute.
Really, I'm curious.

Yes, and people have survived jumping out of the plane without a
parachute
at 20,000 feet, too. But the odds are against it. Personally, I think
the
way you deal with an electrical failure in IMC with no GPS or handheld
radio
is that you avoid putting yourself in a situation where that can
happen.
