Functionality Mistakes Throughout History That Were Way Too Expensive to Fix

In 1990, British Airways Flight 5390 became an unforgettable event when pilot Tim Lancaster was partially ejected through a shattered cockpit window over Oxfordshire. The incident, costing $2.8 million in damages, astonishingly, was recorded in real-time.

Miraculously, Lancaster survived being sucked halfway out of the aircraft, thanks to crew members who grasped him tightly until an emergency landing. Despite suffering bone fractures and frostbite, his life was preserved in this extraordinary tale of survival.
