I also do not understand how she went through a window.

Best guess is that she was dancing in front of the window (vid?) entertaining some enthusiastic poolside students. Add just a few beers...

I fell off the 4th floor of some apartments when I was her age, landed in a crepe Myrtle and walked it off

Eh, it’s probably a hallucination he had due to the horribleness and confusion of the situation. She would have jumped from the 100th floor or close to it.

People who survive those types of falls almost inevitably are in aircraft that somewhat cushions the fall. You’re not going to survive a 100 story fall with no cushion.

I once took care of A KID who jumped off a >50ft tall building. Honestly, if THEY weren’t taken to the hospital THEY had access to within 15 minutes THEYprobably would’ve died. THEY were in the ICU for months requiring ECMO because THEY had lung injuries similar to blast injuries.
Months of rehab, but now THEY are doing fine. One of the wildest cases I’ve been apart of.

'We' still doing that?

eight stories

"stories" as a unit of measure has always bothered me. Like how tall is a damn story? I know it's silly and irrational but that doesn't change my opinion.

If one of the lard tubs you seem fond of fell eight stories, there would have been a deep crater at the impact point.

Juliane Koepcke survived a 10,000-foot (3,000-meter) freefall into the Peruvian Amazon rainforest in 1971 after a lightning strike disintegrated LANSA Flight 508 on Christmas Eve.

Her entire story is amazing. She was one tough, tough girl who was determined to survive.

It's likely much easier to quickly quantify as a reference for readers than running a tape measure from where she went out down to where she landed.

Joan Murray. Both parachutes failed. Hit the ground at 80 mph onto an ant hill and was bit hundreds of times. The adrenaline kept her heart beating.
