“How many stories up is the deck from the water?”

80-90 feet

“Would someone normally survive falling that far?”

No. They would hit the water with such velocity that it would be like hitting concrete.

It’s closer to 60 feet, and yes, there have been people who have fallen or been blown off the flight deck and survived the fall. One of them was in my squadron!
