December 27, 20214 yr Pilots must have got quite the shock!!! Thank goodness the aircraft were travelling in the same direction and the 777 has a strong windshield apparently! Wow, the chances are almost impossible to consider. If they were traveling in opposite directions I'm quite certain there would be another story entirely! Thank goodness thi9s ended well. Rapid decompression at FL350 can't be a good thing, wasn't there a BA pilot famously sucked out of the aircraft in an incident once? https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/17149536/ba-flight-shattered-windscreen-ice-from-jet-smashed/ FRIGHT FLIGHT BA flight left with shattered windscreen after a lump of ice smashed into it at 35,000ft Edited December 27, 20214 yr by psolk Have a Wonderful Day -Paul Solk
