Commercial aircraft cruise higher than Mount Everest, kept survivable only by pressurized cabins, and this film tracks what happens when that seal fails. It opens with the De Havilland Comet, whose square windows and metal fatigue caused mid-air breakups that rewrote aircraft design rules, then moves to Aloha Airlines Flight 243, where corrosion tore off a section of fuselage and the plane still landed. The centerpiece is British Airways Flight 5390, where a improperly fitted windshield blew out at 17,000 feet and sucked the captain halfway out of the cockpit while the crew held onto him for twenty minutes. The film closes with Helios Airways Flight 522, the so-called ghost flight, where a slow pressure loss incapacitated everyone aboard before the plane crashed on autopilot. Using archival footage, incident photos, and expository narration, it traces how each disaster forced specific engineering fixes, from window shapes to inspection schedules, arguing that today's cabin safety standards exist because of what these four flights exposed.
