You could jump from a helicopter and wait to open your parachute! If the helicopter isn't falling, it is malfunctioning, point it in a direction, jump out, helicopter keeps going, open your parachute when it is safe... No? Like I said, I think she jumped out of a plane. And why the US government? Was it a US based airline? And doesn't the government farm out that kind of work to private companies? Companies who specialize in deep sea plane crash filming? A crash scene for a missing plane could totally be faked and why would any government question that a plane found in the same area that it disappeared from, that looks like the plane, that has the planes same number or logo or whatever on it, that has dead bodies and no survivors, why would they not accept that as truth?
