How did she lose her clothes? I saw a man’s body on the ground with no shirt and no burn marks - so I assumed he was a victim on the ground and not on the plane. Can someone explain how the clothes disappear?

Have you seen what stress diving out of an airplane puts on heavy, designed-for-the-purpose flight suits?

Even when they are decelerated by a parachute?

Imagine what the wind does to any lightweight casual clothing on a body plummeting at full speed - especially when that body isn't tensed up because the person is unconscious/dead.

Wind will peel it right off.

Blown or burned off, plus wind resistance from 33,000 feet tearing what remained off. Just a guess. Plus the body going from motionless to 600+ Mph in the blink of an eye as the body is thrown from the plane into the slipstream.

The plane was at 30,000 feet. A falling body would reach terminal velocity in about five seconds, then fall at more than 120mph until something interferes. It's hard enough keeping your clothes on with nylon straps and poly buckles.

imagine your body suddenly placed in almost zero pressure at 33K feet, in a disintegrating shell of metal, with a windpseed of 400 mph and what happens to your clothing

explosion and tornado victims are sometimes discovered naked and even traffic victims are knocked out of their shoes

mercifully the longest surviving victims would have been unconscious within a minute

Uh, when your ripped from a seat that's moving 500 mph and fall 30,000 feet, I would guess that has a tendency to be rough on clothing...
