June 24, 1982 – During a calm flight to Australia, smoke starts filling the cabin of a passenger jet. At the same time, the flight crew witnesses a bizarre shower of brilliant white sparks hitting their windshield. Within moments, the four engines of the 747 shut down. Just seconds before crashing into the Indian Ocean, the engines roar back to life. The terrifying flight changes the way pilots are trained and alters forever the understanding of how volcanoes can impact passenger flights.

To be fair that light is cool but it's dangerous
Even the ground control not aware if there is a Volcano Eruption
I swear whatever gas they give you at the dentist should go through Them masks for the passengers. That would be terrible to know your getting ready to die and all you can do is sit there
The thing I have with this I have suffered the same way she did I was drinking nearly everyday and had the same fights just like that that character is so overlooked
I am from indonesia bruh..
The most greatest pilots the skills

What a testament to the human spirit, perseverance and the will to live. One setback after another….engines flameout, broken oxygen mask, repeated failures to restart engines, can't see out the windscreen…and yet they kept on. Simply an amazing tale.
From my time in the U.S. Army I've seen sand and debris hit the rotors on helos many times. At night the sand can light up a rotor blade.
The best pilots ❤️

I guessed what had happened to the plane just because of the geographic location of the flight but was amazed they got the engines running again. They were all so lucky!

BA9, The luckiest airplane to ever land
Is this real, because i say it look fake
It’s interesting the crew waited until passing through FL320 before deciding to turn around. You’d think they’d have made that decision sooner.
Omg god brought the plane down lol
