A British teacher who tried to cling onto the leg of a Cambridge University student before she jumped to her death from a plane has been hailed "Wonder Woman".

Ruth Johnson was tonight identified as one of the people who tried in vain to stop Alana Cutland, 19, from plummeting 3,700ft out the aircraft as it flew above Madagascar.

Ms Johnson is currently trying to come to terms with what she witnessed.

The 51-year-old, who lives in Banbury, Oxfordshire, where she teaches at the £8,000-a-term Winchester House School, frantically tried to hold onto the teen for several minutes as half her body hung out the plane.

Tragically Alana, from Milton Keynes, slipped from her grasp.Local police chief Spinola Nomenjanahary reportedly said the teacher had screamed "come back, come back" as she had tried to save her.

He is said to have added: "Ruth said it all happened so fast she was lucky to even catch hold of her leg in time".

The teen's body has not yet been found and her family believe she was hallucinating on prescription drugs and didn't intend to kill herself.

Ms Johnson's bravery has now been described as "stunning" by her husband Matthew Smith.

He told the Daily Mail: "She's our Wonder Woman. We are all so proud of her.

hmmmm

£8000 a term

that's close to 4M naira a term for a secondary school teacher

as against 20k they pay here for a private secondary school teacher



meaning her salary for almost 20 yrs that's what she get in 3 months

just look at the gap

please try to read again, they were talking of the school fees and not her salary

Even if it is her salary, they would write 8000 for you and give you 2000.
