Do you really trust Russian news?

I know some russkies are skint, but that takes hitch hiking to the extreme. All bullshít I imagine. At those speeds the force would just knock you off surely?

from an engineering perspective.... thats complete bull****. beyond getting frostbite within about 5 minutes, there is no way he could withstand the force of the wind. you realize that that wind is LIFTING a giant plane made of steel into the air. stick your head out the window going 80 miles an hour and tell me that you could withstand 6 times that force.
