  • Summary

  • When the cockpit windscreen of British Airways Flight 5390 suddenly blows out at 17,300 feet, a routine morning flight turns into an unimaginable nightmare. With the captain partially ejected from the aircraft and facing the full force of sub-zero winds, co-pilot Alastair Atchison and the cabin crew find themselves in a desperate race against time. As the plane begins to dive through some of the busiest air lanes in Europe, they must make split-second decisions that will determine the fate of all 87 souls on board.
