Flying Pilot

It's 8.20 in the morning, and 17000 feet above Oxfordshire an unimaginable disaster has befallen a flight from Birmingham to Malaga. A front windscreen has blown out and a powerful, freezing wind is causing utter chaos in the passenger cabin. But the scene in the cockpit is even more terrifying. The captain has been sucked out of the empty window, his torso and head banging against the outside of the aircraft as a steward clings desperately onto his legs to try and stop him being lost completely.

Over the next hour, a truly remarkable story of terror and bravery unfolds as passengers struggle in oxygen deprived air, and the co-pilot is tasked with single handedly guiding the aircraft through busy airspace as a 250 mile-an-hour wind rushes into the flight deck.

In this episode we explore the remarkable story of Flight BA5390. Told through the first-hand testimonies of those involved and using vivid dramatic reconstruction and state-of-the-art special effects, Channel 5 takes viewers into the cabin and the cockpit for one of the most incredible aviation tales of all.
