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!!
More detail on the story here...she's doing well now. I always thought it was the tailcone, but if you scroll down, she says she was told she was actually found in the midsection, underneath a food trolley. Probably was mealtime.
