Three crews push themselves far beyond their limits: they overcome seemingly impossible obstacles to land their aircraft. For example, the pilots of a Boeing 707 lose both right engines during turbulence over the French Alps – and a fire further complicates the perilous situation. Over Portugal, the crew of Air Astana Flight 1388 again pulls out all the stops to bring the damaged aircraft safely to the ground. The pilots of Philippine Airlines Flight 434 also manage an emergency landing after a bomb explosion severs critical control cables.
