@random.guy.from.v: British Airways Flight 009 is one of the most remarkable and harrowing stories in the history of commercial aviation. On June 24, 1982, a routine flight operated by a Boeing 747-236B experienced a simultaneous flameout of all four engines after flying into an invisible cloud of volcanic ash. The crew’s incredible gliding, flawless crisis management, and eventual safe landing without a single fatality transformed it into a landmark case that permanently altered global aviation safety protocols. The flight departed Kuala Lumpur at 8:09 PM local time, running about one and a half hours behind schedule. Despite the delay, the climb-out was entirely normal. The aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude of 37,000 feet (approximately 11,300 meters) and headed south over the Indian Ocean, following airway Bravo 69, which took them south of Jakarta toward Western Australia. The first several hours of the flight were routine, with the crew enjoying dinner while the passengers settled into sleep on a very dark, moonless night. #fyp #edit
