This time we arrived with a sympathetic as well as surprising news, you just have to imagine a trip in a small plane around South Africa where, in a steering maneuver of the plane itself, it made it tilt enough, so that a hatch opened fair and what a briefcase containing a MacBook Air fell off the plane.

The height when the event occurred was approximately 300 meters, but the most curious thing is that the MacBook Air survived the fall itself. Of course it did not come out unscathed before such an impact but the screen, keyboard and system in general worked correctly, the parts that suffered the most from the equipment were the cooling system since the fan that integrates the equipment did not work, the glass of the trackpad that ended up made pieces and the chassis itself with considerable deformation but only on an aesthetic level.

According to the pilot's account, the farmer who found the briefcase says that he heard a hiss, at that moment he looked up and saw a bag falling at full speed towards him having to get out of the way quickly and approaching later to see what had fallen there, to his surprise what was there was neither more nor less than a MacBook "fallen from the sky."

The truth is that the pilot was lucky since he found an honest person and that in turn the data contained in the briefcase, flight license and a book of the pilot himself, the farmer was able to find his Facebook to forward the equipment to its rightful owner . The pilot later commented that he took the MacBook Air to an Apple Store and that after recounting the incident, the employees they didn't think it was that fun as it seemed to him.

A little adventure that actually serves us as durability test to check that the quality of construction of the current team, which would be about to be renewed according to all the rumors, is quite high and that together with a pinch of luck at least it has not been without it.
