On June 24, 1982, British Airways Flight 9 was flying over the Indian Ocean when all four engines of its Boeing 747 suddenly stopped working at 37,000 feet.

With 263 people on board, the aircraft had no engine power and quietly glided through the night while the crew tried to figure out what had gone wrong. 😨🛫

Captain Eric Moody stayed calm and told the passengers there was a “small problem” as the plane continued to lose altitude. 😌🎙️

As the aircraft descended into warmer air, the engines restarted one by one, allowing the crew to safely continue the flight and avoid what could have been a major disaster. 🧯⚙️
