For almost all people, dropping their smartphone from an airplane would be the worst nightmare. However, Brazilian documentary filmmaker Ernesto Galiotto’s iPhone 6s survived a fall from 2,000 feet.
Not only did the iPhone survive the free fall, but it also recorded its terrifying plunge to Earth. Galiotto was flying over a beach in Cabo Frio, Rio de Janeiro when heavy winds made him drop his iPhone 6S out of the small airplane’s window.
He held his phone with just one hand to capture a few pictures from the plane window when his phone slipped out of his hands.
However, the iPhone was soon located using the Find My Phone app. It was reported that the phone was still on and running properly without a single crack on the screen. Regarding this, Galiotto said:
“I had faith that I would recover it. I thought, If it didn’t fall in the water, we’d find it. For a few meters, I could have hit a person and, at that height I was flying, 2,000 feet, it was going to be a tragedy, can you imagine? But it wasn’t a tragedy; it had many emotions.”
A video shared by Mr. Galiotte on YouTube shows the moment he dropped his phone.
