What was the most recent long-fall survival incident?

Panel 1: Above a drawing of a woman and a man in a white, four-door sedan is the question, “What was the most recent long-fall survival incident?” Below the text reads, “In December of 2022, a young couple survived a 300-foot fall when their car plunged over a cliff.” Panel 2: At the left on a light gray background drawn to resemble a rocky hillside are the words, “They had pulled over to let an impatient driver pass them. When they tried to get back on the road they hit some gravel, lost control, and went over the cliff.” To the right of this text is a drawing on a dark background of their car falling nose-first toward the bottom of the cliff. Panel 3: On a light gray background at the left of the panel, are the words, “The car hit some trees and landed upside down in the canyon. The two survived with no major injuries.” In the illustration, the car is at the bottom of the cliff on its roof with one wheel off on the ground and one door open. It is surrounded by rocks and stunted trees. Panel 4: In this panel the woman and man have exited the car and are standing side-by-side. The woman has her left arm around the man, who looks down nervously at the cell phone in his hand. The text to their right reads, “They used a cell phone to call for help and were rescued before very long.” This cartoon is part of a series called Falling. It is written and drawn by Jim Hamilton who can be found on Instagram at Green Harbor Publications (all one word, greenharborpublications).

Panel 1: This comic is all in one panel. At the top left is the question, “Does a ball thrown straight up take the same time to go up as it does to come down?” Directly below the question is the response, ‘Well, it depends.” The text continues, “In a vacuum, the time going up and the time going down would be equal.” Directly below this text we see two boys having a conversation. One says, “But we do not live in a vacuum.” The other boy responds, “Good point!” Below the boys the text continues, “In the real world, it takes longer to come down. Why? Air resistance.” In the center of the panel we see a left-handed batter who has just swung at a pitch and popped the ball straight up. He is wearing a white uniform with the number seven on the back. Right beside him standing behind home plate, the catcher follows the flight of the ball. He is wearing a gray uniform and a chest protector. His hat is on backwards. He has already discarded his mask. Along the left side of the panel is the following text, “On the way up, air resistance and gravity work together to slow the ball’s upward motion. On the return trip to earth, air resistance counters the impact of gravity, which means that the ball accelerates at a slower pace, and so it takes slightly longer to come town.” This cartoon is part of a series called Falling. It is written and drawn by Jim Hamilton who can be found on Instagram at Green Harbor Publications (all one word, greenharborpublications).
