Hereās an example of a tail cone. As you can tell, there really isnāt any room for a restroom.The tail cone is that extension at the end of the aircraft - like the area outlined below:
I think the ASN article confused flight levels and metric altitude. The aircraft was at 33,000 feet (10,160 meters) according to the Wikipedia article I posted above.
Look at it this way, pika. The aircraft was enroute to its destination. Why would the aircraft be at 10,000 feet when it was only about half way through the flight?
Come on, dude! Open up a space in your brain for logic!
If you read what I posted you will see there is an āOfficial abstract of final report (english)ā available.
The plane crashed after the detonation of a bomb in the forward cargo hold. A flight attendant, 22 year old Vesna Vulovic, fell 33,330 feet in the tail section and although she broke both legs and was temporarily paralyzed from the waist down, she survived. She was in a coma for 27 days and it took 16 months for her to recover.
The bomb was believed to be placed on the plane by a Croatian extremist group. On January 27, 1997, 25 years after the crash, Vesna Vulovic returned to the crash-site and was reunited with the firemen who pulled her from the wreckage and the medical team who looked after her in the hospital.
A mistake in transcribing the info into the ASN report? The NTSB reports the bomb exploded causing the aircraft breakup at approx. 33,000 feet (10,000 meters).
