I remember that story from about 25 years ago. I think the FA was in the rear galley, (back when they served meals at mealtime) and the bomb blast threw her further back into the cone section. Supposedly, the plane fell some 30,000 feet and she in the tail section landed in a snow covered forest. She was knocked out due to the blast and the thought was in her relaxed ^ state she was able to absorb the impact. I think she broke her back or something and she was Chech or Romanian...
Like I said, this is from a web covered part of the old brain here. I will take NO offense at anyone who corrects me!!
