British Airways 9: All Four Engines Died in a Cloud They Never Saw Coming #Shorts

On 24 June 1982, British Airways Flight 9 — radio callsign "Speedbird," a name BA still
uses from the 1932 Imperial Airways emblem — was a Boeing 747 on the Kuala Lumpur to
Perth leg of a London–Auckland route.

At 37,000 feet over Indonesia, in the dark, it flew straight into an invisible cloud of
volcanic ash from the erupting Mount Galunggung. The ash sandblasted the windscreen and
choked the engines until ALL FOUR flamed out. Captain Eric Moody told the cabin: "All
four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them going again."

The crew glided the powerless jumbo for minutes, descending out of the ash — and one by
one, restarted the engines. They landed safely at Jakarta. All 263 people on board
survived.

💬 Four dead engines... and they brought them back to life in mid-air. How is that even
possible? Someone explain how a 747 can glide 👇 And what would YOU have done in Captain
Moody's seat?
