Bizarre Miracle: British Airways 5390
Listen now
Description
Hang onto your tea cups, because this British flight is about to leave you breathless... since there's an explosive decompression at 17,500 feet. In the summer of 1990, one of the most unreal, miraculous flights in aviation history occurred in the English skies. With one pilot flying, and the other half-sucked out of the aircraft after a structural failure, the pressure is on to pull off the impossible and save the lives of nearly 100 people on board. Tune in this week to join Caroline and returning guest Justin as we discuss this miraculous, movie-worthy flight.  Disclaimer: I have a terrible English accent that just sounds Australian. So I apologize to our British listeners. You guys are awesome.
