Some friends and I we're recently having the habitual discussion of 'extreme circumstances' over a few beers on the weekend. Off the back of that conversation, he just sent me this link to 'List of sole survivors of aviation accidents or incidents'
This has to be the most entertaining list of WTF-Wikipedia files I have ever read. With this one being the best story in my opinion:
"The plane had climbed to 17,300 feet over Didcot, Oxfordshire. Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and the fuselage quickly filled with condensation. The left windscreen, on the captain's side of the cockpit, had suffered a catastrophic failure. Lancaster was jerked out of his seat by the rushing air and forced head first out of the cockpit, his knees snagging onto the flight controls. This left him with his whole upper torso out of the aircraft, and only his legs inside"
