Interesting story.  Thanks for sharing.

8 Miles High, and when you touch down

>>>Vulović attributed her recovery to her "Serbian stubbornness" and "a childhood diet that included chocolate, spinach, and fish oil".[4][16]

Is there anything fish oil can't take care of?

what did she land on???

A marshmallow storage facility.

what did she land on???

Snow-covered pines, if I recall the original reports correctly.

A marshmallow storage facility.

According to the wiki article posted above:   "Air safety investigators attributed Vulović's survival to her being trapped by a food cart in the DC-9's fuselage as it broke away from the rest of the aircraft and plummeted towards the ground. When the cabin depressurized, the passengers and other flight crew were blown out of the aircraft and fell to their deaths.Investigators believed that the fuselage, with Vulović pinned inside, landed at an angle in a heavily wooded and snow-covered mountainside, which cushioned the impact."

So basically, she pulled an Indiana Jones in the freezer stunt.
