川航机长回忆生死备降惊魂一刻，这波操作简直是奇迹！(6)

1990年，英航一架飞机飞行在2.3万英尺时风挡玻璃破裂，飞行员大半身体被吸出窗外，后在事件中生还。这架飞机机型为BAC-111，机长是蒂姆·兰卡斯特，他的记录飞行时间已达11050小时，副机长是39岁的阿拉斯泰尔·艾奇森，记录飞行时间7500小时。飞机上还有另外4名机组成员和81名乘客。
事情的发生与川航的经历非常相似：
Less than 15 minutes into the flight, with the plane at 17,300 feet over Oxfordshire, there was a loud bang in the cockpit, and the windscreen on the captain’s side blew out from its mooring, causing immediate decompression.
起飞不到15分钟，飞机在牛津郡上空1.73万英尺（约5273米）高空飞行时，驾驶舱突然发出一声巨响，机长一侧的风挡玻璃突然破裂，立即造成失压。

飞机在升至指定的高度之后，正副机长都松开了肩部的安全带，并将飞机调整为了自动驾驶模式。
Both pilots had loosened their harnesses, and Lancaster was forcefully pulled toward the open window by the rush of air. As the reconstruction from the National Geographic Channel"s documentary Air Crash Investigation shows, the whole top half of his body was dragged out of the plane, with only his legs remaining inside, caught on the flight controls.
