A camera mounted inside the plane recorded the moment when Galiotto held his phone up and fumbled for it, causing it to fall to the ground.

He initially showed his annoyance, as the phone quickly dropped to 2,000 meters, where he landed near the beach, without harming anyone.

Using the Find My iPhone app, Galiotto located his phone where it was remarkably still intact.

But for a few meters I could have hit someone and, at that height we were flying, at 2,000 feet, it would be a tragedy, can you imagine? But it was not a tragedy, it had a lot of emotions. ‘

The images show the filmmaker’s surprise as he finds his iPhone on the beach still functional after the huge fall.

He said, “It’s something that if you tell someone they won’t believe it.”
