Did anyone read her life? It's absolutely crazy.
Following the bombing, Vulović spent days in a
coma and was hospitalized for several months. She suffered a fractured skull, three broken vertebrae, broken legs, broken ribs, and a fractured pelvis. These injuries resulted in her being temporarily paralyzed from the waist down. She made an almost complete recovery but continued to walk with a limp. Vulović had no memory of the incident and had no qualms about flying in the aftermath of the crash. Despite her willingness to resume work as a flight attendant,
Jat Airways (JAT) gave her a desk job negotiating freight contracts, feeling her presence on flights would attract too much publicity. Vulović became a celebrity in
Yugoslavia and was deemed a national hero.
She was fired from JAT in the early 1990s after taking part in anti-government protests during the
breakup of Yugoslavia, but avoided arrest as the government was concerned about the negative publicity that her imprisonment would bring. She continued her work as a pro-democracy activist until the
Socialist Party of Serbia was ousted from power during the
Bulldozer Revolution of October 2000. Vulović later campaigned on behalf of the
Democratic Party, advocating for Serbia's entry into the
European Union. Her final years were spent in seclusion and she struggled with
survivor guilt. Having divorced, she lived alone in her
Belgrade apartment on a small pension until her death in 2016.
