    THIS STORY:
    Alan Eugene Magee was an American airman during World War II who survived a 22,000-foot free-fall from his damaged and doomed B-17 Flying Fortress.
    THIS CHANNEL:
    _________________________________________________________
    The Angel face you see is the Haserot, named “The Angel of Death Victorious". The stoic angel is seated on the marble gravestone of canning entrepreneur Francis Haserot and his family. Holding an extinguished torch upside-down, it represents a symbol of life extinguished. Wings are outstretched and the gaze is straight ahead.
    IN THE END, DEATH ALWAYS WINS. LEST THE FACES NOT BE FORGOTTEN...
    This channel is focused on casually walking and viewing a handful of the thousands of forgotten names and faces at various cemeteries near and afar. Seeing their faces up close. And when able, telling the stories behind their names.
    Most graves are unknown and lost to history.
    Some are famous.
    And some infamous....
    ....and some with tragic endings.

    Omg I have no clue what I’d be thinking about. I’ve heard of a lady who fell like 30,000 feet and survived. They said she had low blood pressure so that could’ve been why. And then hearing that he was hanging from a train station, if you’ve seen the longest day it reminds me of a paratrooper who got stuck at a church hanging there with his parachute. My grandpa in wwii was on a bomber when it started to go down. Next thing he knew it he was at one end of the runway all covered in ash and the plane was crashed at the other end. His guardian angel was at play there

    What an incredible story! Just goes to show ya that God doesn't always save the best for last, but he sure does listen when we pray. I'm thinking that maybe passing out might have been a blessing in disguise too because it could have helped soften the blow somewhat or at least enough to survive it. Either way I would call it a miracle from above. He even lived a pretty long life after such traumatic injuries done to his body. Just amazing! Love the snap, crackle, pop and the logo on the plane too! RIP Sir and thank you for your service. You definitely went above and beyond the call of duty
