A pilot was sucked out of the cockpit window but survived thanks to a member of the in-flight crew who held on to his ankles. The terrifying ordeal occurred just 13 minutes in to a busy flight from a Birmingham airport to Malaga.
The terrifying incident, which took place on June 20, 1990, saw the windscreen of the plane smashed due to the wrong bolts being fitted, reports the Mirror. Captain Tim Lancaster of British Airways was then sucked through the open window.
The hero of the hour was Cabin crew member Nigel Ogden, who grasped the pilot's legs just in time and managed to hold on until the plane landed safely at Southampton Airport.
