A camera installed inside the plane recorded the moment Galiotto grabbed the phone on top and dropped it to the ground outside.
He initially showed his discomfort as the phone quickly fell to 2,000 feet, where he landed near the beach without hurting anyone.

He survived the fall with only a few scratches, according to Brazilian newspaper G1.
The device had only been fitted with a standard silicone case and a screen protector.
Galiotto said, “I had faith I would get her back. I thought, ‘If he doesn’t fall into the water, we’ll find him.’

But for a few meters, he could have hit someone, and at that height he flew, at 2,000 feet, it would have been a tragedy, can you imagine? But it was not a tragedy, it had a lot of emotions.
The images show the filmmaker’s surprise when he finds the iPhone on the beach still running after the huge fall.
He said, “It’s something that if you tell someone, they won’t believe it.”
