- List_of_sole_survivors_of_airline_accidents_or_incidents abstract "Since 1970, one-third of lone survivors of airline crashes have been children or flight crew.Stephen Joseph, a psychologist at the University of Warwick, has studied the survivors of the capsizing of the MS Herald of Free Enterprise which killed 193 of the 459 passengers. His studies showed that 60 per cent of survivors suffered from survivor guilt. Joseph went on to say: "There were three types: first, there was guilt about staying alive while others died; second, there was a guilt about the things they failed to do – these people often suffered post-traumatic 'intrusions' as they relived the event again and again; third, there were feelings of guilt about what they did do, such as scrambling over others to escape. These people usually wanted to avoid thinking about the catastrophe. They didn't want to be reminded of what really happened." Lone survivors often have a more difficult time dealing with "survivors' guilt" because unlike survivors of disasters who escaped with companions, lone survivors have no one to whom they can relate, nor support groups, nor survivors' organizations.Due to the large number of people involved in an airline flight, being a lone survivor of a crash is statistically improbable. Lone survivors are often left with physical and psychological injuries. The youngest sole survivor is Paul Ashton Vick who on 28 January 1947, survived a China National Aviation Corporation crash when he was just 18 months old. His father survived long enough to write down directions for returning the child to his grandparents before succumbing to his wounds.Another sole survivor is a former Serbian flight attendant, Vesna Vulović. According to the Guinness Book of Records she holds the record for surviving the highest fall without a parachute at 10,160 metres (33,330 ft), although further investigation after the fall of communism has cast doubt on the official story.One of the more controversial lone survivors was Wong Yu (Chinese: 黃裕, Hanyu Pinyin: Huáng Yù) who tried to hijack the Cathay Pacific aircraft Miss Macao in 1948 but ended up crashing the plane killing the other 25 people on board. The earliest known sole survivor is Linda McDonald. On 5 September 1936, she survived a Skyways sightseeing plane crash that killed ten other people, including her boyfriend.".
