    My mom just told me about British airways flight 5390.

    While the aircraft was flying over Didcot, England, an improperly installed windscreen panel separated from its frame, causing the captain to be partially ejected from the aircraft. He was held in place through the window frame for 20 minutes until the first officer landed at Southampton Airport.

    Whoever tried to pass this one pilot thing should be fired.
