October 22nd, 2005

Moments after takeoff from London Heathrow, a British Airways flight is plunged into darkness.

With nothing to guide him but the faint horizon out the window, the captain struggles to keep the plane flying level.

82 lives hang in the balance, as the pilots try to figure out what to do next.

This is a story about how people make decisions under pressure, and it’s a story about the forces that influence their decisions.

This is the story of British Airways flight 870.
