In 1990, the windshield of British Airways Flight 5390 came off at an altitude of 17,000 feet, resulting in the captain being partially ejected out of the aircraft. Nigel Ogden, a flight attendant, managed to grab hold of the captain and maintain his grip for over 20 minutes while the copilot attempted an urgent landing. Although the majority of the crew presumed that the pilot had already lost his life, Ogden did not let go. Ogden suffered from frostbite on his face, damage to one of his eyes, and a dislocated shoulder. Miraculously, the pilot survived, although he had frostbite and multiple fractures on his arms and hands.
