The moment Captain Tim Lancaster was sucked out of the plane he was piloting in 1990. A wrongly-installed panel on the windscreen of British Airways Flight 5390 fell out and caused the captain to be pulled halfway out the aircraft at 17, 000 feet. As the pilot began to lose consciousness, the flight attendant holding onto him also began to develop frostbite. The ordeal lasted 22 minutes in total and Tim Lancaster survived with only minor injuries, although the flight attendant holding onto him, Nigel Ogden, retired in 2001 after struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder.
