Airplane Somehow Lands After Getting Hit by a Missile

Right at the dawn of the Iraq war, an A300 cargo plane working as a DHL delivery aircraft was struck by a surface-to-air missile just after takeoff.

With a damaged left-wing, an engine spilling fuel, and no hydraulic flight control, the brave men in the three-person crew made an emergency landing using only the plane's engines and throttle control.

That same day, the German courier service suspended its operations in the Middle Eastern country and began a thorough investigation. This included analyzing bone-chilling video footage of the attack.

Over a decade and a half since the attack, the crew continues to astonish with their bravery, wit, and quick thinking.
