And if i remember correctly he went out of the rear ramp out of a 727. Must have been a trick question.

D.B. Cooper jumped out at 10,000 feet.
It's doable. But he jumped out into a severe storm too.
The case that has me scratching my head was the teenager that crawled up in the landing gear of the jetliner and made the trip to Hawaii...at altitudes and temperatures he survived in... How the hell does that happen?

How the hell does that happen? The teenager ... It wasn't as cold in the wheel wells as has been reported and the lack of oxygen did not get to point where it was lethal. Just a guess but the side of wheel well he was snuggled up to was a pressurized heated compartment. His metabolism, breathing, and heartbeat slowed down but not to the point where it killed him. He wasn't exposed to the outside atmosphere and that's where people get it wrong. It's kind of like surviving a drowning in cold water, except you don't die, and you don't need resuscitation. A person can survive cold and oxygen depleted conditions for awhile. He did it. That's the proof.

I forgot to add that nothing has been said about the kid suffering frostbite. If you're wearing nothing but street clothes you won't avoid getting frostbite when it gets much below zero for any length of time.

Here's one other thing.
He was snuggled up between the tire and the wheel well.
The tires were at ambient temperature and pressure when the aircraft left San Jose. A large passenger jet tire is huge heat sink. It'd keep you warm for awhile.

Sorry, I guess I'm confused as I thought the video was of the 777 jetliner. Now as to a "Spy" plane, it would depend on several parameters, altitude, airspeed etc. For example, a supersonic ejection at 33K would not be survivable.

That is not video of the Malaysia plane. The heading says an AH30. If you google AH30, you will find that the Russians shot down an Ukraine AH30 in June 2014.
