Quote:Now, that being said....that must have been a relatively small bomb for Jack to me at most 15 miles away from point of impact and walk away unscathed
I read this on the 24 message board.
It sounds plausible enough to me.
Quote:The estimated area on flat land was 100 square miles, which translates to roughly a 5.6 mile radius. This would be smaller in a depressed area. If a plane's going at 100 miles an hour and Jack jumps off 4 minutes before detonation, and the final 90 seconds was at 30° declination (multiply 100 miles per hour by the cos of 30°), we have an average speed of 95 miles per hour, which would put Jack a little over 6.3 miles away from Ground Zero.
