Whoa!

Quote:
Less than five months after KLM put the plane into service, the aircraft lost power in all four engines after inadvertently flying through a volcanic ash cloud on a flight between Japan and Anchorage, Alaska.

Rapidly losing altitude as the crippled plane glided towards what seemed like an inevitable crash, the crew managed to restart their engines and make an emergency landing.

Despite causing $80 million in damage, nobody was injured and “City of Calgary” was soon back in the skies.
