Hey guys! Do you like airplanes? Have you ever thought what would happen if a plane window you're sitting next to suddenly broke? Because even though it's almost unheard of, it HAS happened before! So, would you get instantly sucked out of the airplane? And could you be arrested for “breaking and exiting”?

That's exactly what almost happened to the pilot of British Airways Flight 5390 in 1990. When the plane was already in the sky, at the altitude of about 17,000 ft, a badly-fitted section of the windshield blew off. Everything happened so fast that the unsuspecting captain Tim Lancaster didn't have time to react and was partially pulled out of the cockpit!
