There it is

Install your windscreens correctly y'all, unless you want to fly the unfriendly skies without a shirt.

"By this time Lancaster had shifted several inches farther outside and his head was repeatedly striking the side of the fuselage. The crew believed him to be dead, but Atchison told the others to continue holding onto him, out of fear that letting go of him might cause him to strike the left wing, engine, or horizontal stabiliser, potentially damaging it.

Lancaster survived with frostbite, bruising, shock, and fractures to his right arm, left thumb and right wrist.[5][7] Ogden dislocated his shoulder and had frostbite on his face, with damage to one eye. There were no other major injuries."

 

The way they were holding him and with the way that window looks, I I would've thought the back of his legs would've been absolutely shredded. Maybe they were protected by a frozen layer of poo

Believe I saw this in a Charlton Heston movie. 

Close, but that guy didn't survive. Neither did the first guy they tried to transfer mid-air. But Chuck saved the day.

Watch the dog, lol!  When my kids were little, they found a cocoon and diligently waited for it to hatch in a jar.  When it finally did, they took it too the back yard to set it free.  My daughter let it fly from her hand, it flew a few feet and landed on the ground, where one of our dalmations promptly ate it.

Now we expect there to be pictures of everything all the time, but in 1990 that wasn’t so. I’m kind of amused somebody busted out some old school camera and took the time to focus and take that picture like some tourist.


They made a re-enactment.

Yeah, I seriously doubt anyone could have been able to take pictures in a cockpit that was being blasted with 200+mph winds.
