Lauren Huxley and British Airways Flight 5390

Sam shares the story of Lauren Huxley. Lauren Huxley was a victim of a violent attack in 1997, when she was abducted from her home in South Australia. After being held captive, she ultimately managed to escape, leading to a widespread manhunt for her assailant. Her courageous ordeal brought significant attention to issues of personal safety and the importance of support for victims of crime.

Jeff shares the story of British Airways Flight 5390. As the airplane flew over very busy British airspace on the way to Spain something terrifying happened. A windscreen panel that had not been properly installed detached from its frame, leading to the captain being partially expelled from the aircraft. Captain Lancaster remained secured by the window frame and flight attendants for 20 minutes until the first officer successfully landed at Southampton Airport.
