The Story of Flight 5390
Added 2021-12-28 11:16:00 +0000 UTCThere was so much about this story that I couldn't find space for in the video, but the thing I most regret leaving out is what happened to the people involved afterwards.
Incredibly, both pilots went back to flying, and had long and successful careers. Tim Lancaster even dealt with a few other emergencies in his time - though none quite as dramatic as this one! Alastair Atchison flew until he was in his 60s before retiring.
Nigel Ogden was awarded the Queen's Commendation for Valuable Service in the Air and a Polaris Award for his role in the incident... and the entire cabin crew (female stewards included) were collectively named "Man of the Year" by the Royal Association for Disability and Rehabilitation.

It really is a pleasure to tell stories like this once in a while - all the more so when there's something (like the importance of small details) that can be learned from them.
