An iPhone that was sucked out of an Alaska Airlines flight has been found undamaged after falling 16,000 feet.

The iPhone was discovered by a man who reported it to the National Transportation Safety Board.

This is the second phone to be recovered after the incident, which involved the plane losing a door shortly after takeoff.

The iPhone had a hard protective case, similar to another incident in which a skydiver dropped his iPhone from 14,000 feet and it survived. The incident is still under investigation.
