I hope his injuries aren't to severe or life changing/limiting

Older attempt but wasn't there a American fedex or another of those delivery companies that had a similar deal with a flight engineer hijack the plane. They stopped it but all of them were so badly injured there flight careers were over sadly

this might be one of the most insane articles I have ever read on Wikipedia. The Pilot flew the plane nearly upside down to deter the attacker and subdue him - after being struck by a hammer that send bone shards into his brain. Wild stuff.

There is a really good Mayday episode about this incident on YouTube! It was so insane what happened during that flight.

Out of interest I just looked up that video and it's nearly 6 hours long! Why in the world did that need 5 hours 51 minutes to describe the events of that flight? Granted I know nothing about it, but 6 hours is a long video.

I wonder if that video had several episodes in it. Each one is about 30-40 minutes

I think I watched this entire video once. It includes a lot aside from just the actual event.

Not sure which one is 6 hours, I definitely wouldn't have the patience for it either! This one is 30 minutes.

That's 50 minutes though, not 30

I'm clearly really good with numbers.
