Damn that shit fell from like 16000 feet and is pretty much undamaged, pretty wild. Even more surprised they actually found it.
It was a few minutes after takeoff so they were still over a populated area. Hardly surprising that it was found... also if it landed on grass I'm not surprised it's undamaged.
My Google Pixel Bud fell into a bush the other day. Despite knowing its basic vicinity I still couldn't find it. I used the find feature which makes it ring loud but still had issues as cars on the road were too noisy. I had to wait until after 8PM to try again. Thankfully I managed to but it really wasn't easy!
It's only if you want to find it that it's hard to find. You have to pretend you don't care either way.
Guess you just needed to call in the ntsb to look for plane parts next time.
Oh god I have the lemongrass GPBP, and they were impossible to find in... Grass.
I know the area it landed in and if it was any more north it could have landed in some swampy wetlands and would potentially be underwater.
Not grass, a bush. Best case scenario short of a vat of jello.
I wonder how quickly a phone reaches its terminal velocity? Falling from 15 feet might be the same as falling from 16,000. I agree that it’s impressive though, I grew up learning to treat electronics very gently, so it’s wild how much more sturdy they’ve gotten.
Not gonna stop me from buying phone cases, though.
Ehhh if it didn't land on anything hard it shouldn't be surprising it wasn't damaged. I used to work at an amusement park in the mid '00s and have personally seen those shitty disposable cameras fall hundreds of feet off rollercoasters into bushes and survive unscathed.
While impressive, it probably reached terminal velocity after ~100 feet.
