# Apple iPhone survives skydiving from Alaska Airlines ASA1282

Did you hear about the [Alaska Airlines flight that lost part of its fuselage over Portland](https://apnews.com/article/boeing-emergency-exit-plugs-alaska-airlines-e3460f26c1bc2d955fcae9d6d820414d)? Apparently, an iPhone left the cabin as part of that incident. And it was still working when it was found.

> Found an iPhone on the side of the road… Still in airplane mode with half a battery and open to a baggage claim for [\#AlaskaAirlines](https://twitter.com/hashtag/AlaskaAirlines?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) ASA1282 Survived a 16,000 foot drop perfectly in tact!
