Miracle in the storm

watched a doco on TV just recently called " Miracle In The Storm".
Story was about a paragliding competition held one summer in North Western NSW.

Is about a german womans survival after getting sucked up 10,000 metres by a massive storm.

It may be on cable TV over there soon

Just under 33000 feet, wow. And I thought getting pulled from 5 up to 30 feet by a gust looked scary. The best part I thought was that she was back in the air as soon as she could be after it happened. I wonder if that was against her doctors suggestions? lol

Whoa. Now that's overpowered... ascending at 25m a second.

What an amazing story.
