The time a British Airways pilot was sucked out of an airplane mid-flight — and lived

• In 1990, a British Airways pilot was sucked out of a cockpit window mid-flight.
• He spent 20 minutes partially dangling out of the plane as the flight crew held his ankles.
• Miraculously, the co-pilot plane landed and the pilot survived.

British Airways Flight 5390 took off without a hitch on June 10, 1990.

But just 13 minutes into the flight from Birmingham, England, to Malaga, Spain, disaster struck.
