In 1990, a panel of the windscreen fell out on British Airways Flight 5390 at about 17K feet, causing the cockpit to decompress and its captain to be sucked halfway out of the plane. The crew held onto him for about 20 minutes as the copilot made an emergency landing. The pilot made a full recovery.
