At Mach 3, when an SR-71 Blackbird explodes at 78,000 feet, physics says no one walks away.
The titanium airframe that withstands supersonic flight becomes shrapnel. The ejection seat built to save pilots becomes useless when there's no cockpit left. The pressure suit designed for the stratosphere means nothing when the aircraft simply ceases to exist.

On January 25th, 1966 over New Mexico, Bill Weaver's Blackbird disintegrated in seconds—twisted metal scattered across 150 square miles, nothing recognizable remaining.

Then Bill Weaver woke up, falling at 70,000 feet. No aircraft around him. No copilot. Just darkness from a frozen faceplate, the roar of thin air, and fourteen miles of empty air between him and the ground.
