How does a person even survive a plane crash? :chin:

If ever there was a miracle....

I've been wondering that too. Maybe it was just one of those "freak miracles".

He's probably got horrible survivor guilt so he'd be more like Batman than Superman.

Apparently he jumped just before the plane hit the ground.
I thought that was far fetched until I read about the Brazil balloon crash...
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c17w04wxwpxo
when the balloon was very close to the ground the pilot told passengers to jump,
Of the 21 passengers who jumped on impact, a good proportion (13 including the pilot) survived the burning, fast falling balloon.
