Blow Out

Aired on 01/23/2005, Narrated by Jonathan Aris

On 10 June 1990, on British Airways Flight 5390, a BAC 1-11 528FL, the cockpit window blows out, partially ejecting the captain through the hole. A member of the cabin crew clings to his legs as the co-pilot completes an emergency landing. The captain is found to be still alive after being outside the cockpit for 21 minutes. The window blow-out was caused by a maintenance worker installing incorrectly sized bolts during maintenance work.
