Miracle Flight 5390

This episode explores three dramatic aviation crises involving extraordinary survival, mechanical failure, and a high-stakes hijacking. One story follows a British Airways flight where a cockpit windscreen suddenly blew out at 17,000 feet, leaving the captain partially outside the aircraft while the crew struggled to save him and land safely. Another case examines a devastating turboprop crash caused by a fractured propeller blade, with survivors facing severe injuries and the aftermath of a post-crash fire. The episode also recounts the 1994 hijacking of an Air France flight in Algiers, which ended with a daring French Special Forces operation in Marseille that prevented a planned terrorist attack.
