The Man in the Window - An Aviation Disaster Story
On June 10th 1990. Captain Tim Lancaster took off from Birmingham Airport to Malaga, when he reached 17,000ft, the window blew out and he got sucked out with it.
Cabin Crew member Nigel Ogden, along with Chief Steward John Heward and flight attendant Simon Rogers held on to their captain's legs and refused to let go. First Officer Alastair Aitchison expertly landed the plane in Southampton. The crew thought Tim was dead, but miraculously he survived. This is their story.
