June 10, 1990 – the 84 passengers boarding British Airways Flight 111 in Birmingham, England, with many are heading to Malaga, Spain for a Mediterranean vacation.

The plane takes off without a hitch but within minutes, a loud bang is heard from the cockpit and the cabin immediately fills with fog. The front windshield has completely blown off, sucking the captain through the opening. The plane is flying at an altitude of 17 000 feet. Captain Tim Lancaster is plastered to the outside of the plane, his legs tangled in the control column, which is the only reason he hasn’t hurtled off into the sky. But the captain’s feet have also pushed the plane’s controls forward into a steep dive.

Are you able to figure out why the captain was sucked through the opening window on Flight 111?

Season 2 Episode 1 "Blow Out": On Flight 111, the co-pilot, Alastair Atchinson, is in a desperate situation. The captain has been sucked out of the cockpit and is stuck outside of the plane. After wrestling the plane for another twenty-two minutes the co-pilot manages an emergency landing in Southampton. Miraculously, the captain is alive and is revived in a local hospital – suffering shock, frostbite, and broken ribs.
