June 24, 1982 - During a calm flight to Australia, smoke starts filling the cabin of a passenger jet. At the same time, the flight crew witnesses a bizarre shower of brilliant white sparks hitting their windshield. Within moments, the four engines of the 747 shut down. Just seconds before crashing into the Indian Ocean, the engines roar back to life. The terrifying flight changes the way pilots are trained and alters forever the understanding of how volcanoes can impact passenger flights.

When my dad was in Perth, Australia in 1982, he met a man travelling to Australia for an Outback adventure who was onboard this flight and said that it was very scary. No kidding. A former British Airways Captain told me he flew with Eric Moody many times when he was a co-pilot on the 747 and also flew with Roger Greaves. Every time the wheels touch down in this episode, I'm instantaneously smiling; while for other episodes where when the plane lands you don't know whether everything is going to be okay (even if I've watched it hundreds of times), it's hard to smile.

I remember watching this as an episode of Air Crash Investigation and was absolutely astounded and fascinated by it. So much so that when a Volcano in Iceland erupted in 2009/2010 and caused a shut down of all aircraft/airports across Europe ( for I wanna say 2 weeks?!) - I knew and understood why. However, I remember they put this episode on Prime time BBC 1 during that time to show everyone WHY shutting down airports and flights was 100% the right decision, despite the inconvenience. Clearly alot of people didn't understand the gravity of the dangers from flying through an ashcloud so they must have felt the need to spread the knowledge. I'm glad they did. The pilots deserve every praise and recognition for thier actions!

It must've looked like they were going through light-speed with all that electricity around the plane. Truly amazing they managed to keep control, let alone land. As a kid I was flying in the U.S between 2 states (I can't remember where...),just that it was a short flight and a tiny aircraft. We got hit by turbulence like a ton of bricks, lighting the lot, they couldn't land and had to wait for it to pass (at least, that's what I remember, it was like 36 years ago...). After that, I had a near crash (for real!) landing at an airport near the Red Sea in Egypt and those 2 instances started my phobia of flying. From early 1989 to 2014, I never stepped back into a plane, only boats and trains. Until 2014 when my childhood best friend moved to Japan...He knew how much I wanted to go, yet if he left it to me, I would've never gone. He bought me a return ticket so that I would have no choice in the matter and flew with me on our way there spent nearly 3 months in Japan (came back alone, but had taken so much 'anxiety pills' mixed with a lot of Irish courage (Guinness..). I slept the entire trip. Still, not flown since though. I truly want to go back there and many other places in Asia before I get too old, but not keen at all to fly alone (and as I have close to zero friends...not gonna happen in my lifetime). Oh well, At least I got to travel and experience many different countries and cultures as a kid due to my late father's job, so no regrets. Sorry for the rambling....I only wanted to say it was a great episode, got carried away. My bad.

33:15 never fails to tug at the ol’ heartstrings. What a wholesome ending to a harrowing experience :)

The ‘Britishness’ of this one is off the scale! Everything falling apart around them, facing certain death, and they’re still super polite and as cool as cucumbers! The only thing I’m disappointed about is that the Flight Attendants weren’t serving cups of tea throughout! 😂

I just watched a video about air peace before this (I had already seen this on mayday in the past), and man, the difference in professionalism between the 2 crews is unimaginable.
