In 1990 An Improperly Installed Window On British Airways Flight 5390 Fell Off During Flight, Causing Rapid Decompression In The Cockpit British Airways Flight 5390Flight attendant Nigel Ogden just happened to be entering the cockpit when he heard the loud bang and saw the pilot getting sucked out. In the reenactment photo and exterior view rendering (above), you can see Ogden holding onto his legs while the co-pilot is trying to rapidly descend in order to reach a safer altitude.
As the co-pilot attempted to contact air traffic control to make an emergency landing, Ogden was starting to develop frostbite from the severe cold. Most of the crew thought the pilot was already dead but Ogden continued to hold on. There was also the fear that if he did let go the body might collide with the plane's engine, wing, or stabilizer, creating more havoc. All he knew for sure was that the pilot was slipping further and further out the window and his head was repeatedly slamming against the fuselage.
After 15 minutes of flying with a broken window, the plane landed safely at Southampton Airport. Ogden suffered frostbite on his face, damaged one of his eyes, and also dislocated his shoulder. The pilot miraculously survived with frostbite and multiple fractures on his arms and hands.
An investigation later revealed that the window that had been newly installed just 27 hours before the flight had used incorrect bolt sizes. Of the 90 bolts that were used 84 of them were 0.026 inches too small in diameter. The other 6 bolts had the correct diameter but were short by 0.1 inches. The bolts were supposed to be 0.8 inches, and not 0.7 inches in length.Comparison of screws used on the British Airways windscreen (Left to right: Correct Size, new; Small (Incorrect) Size, new; Correct Size, old) www.boredpanda.com/history-defined-pics/SAVE FERRIS
