In 1994, FedEx Flight Engineer Jim Tucker Jr. faced a life-or-death battle at 30,000 feet when an off-duty employee launched a brutal attack on the crew mid-flight, aiming to crash the plane. Despite severe injuries, including a fractured skull, Jim fought back alongside the crew, ultimately overpowering the attacker and saving everyone on board. Forced to leave his flying career behind, Jim turned his trauma into purpose, advocating for safety and proving that courage can triumph over fear.
