In 1990, the windshield of British Airways Flight 5390 detached at an altitude of 17,000 feet, causing a rapid decompression in the cockpit, which led to the captain being partially ejected from the aircraft. At the time of the incident, Nigel Ogden, a flight attendant, was en route to the cockpit. Upon entering, he promptly grabbed hold of the captain and maintained his grip for over 20 minutes, while the co-pilot endeavored to execute an emergency landing. There was concern that if Ogden let go, the pilot's body could collide with the plane's engine, wing, or stabilizer, potentially leading to further chaos. Ultimately, after a harrowing 20-minute flight with a shattered window, the aircraft was successfully landed at Southampton Airport. Throughout the ordeal, Ogden endured frostbite on his face, injury to one of his eyes, and a dislocated shoulder. But he survived.
