British Airways Flight 5390 – when the pilot is half out of the cockpit
The flight was sent on June 10, 1990 from Birmingham to Spain. In flight, the cockpit windshield burst. The captain immediately flew out through the opening, and his back was pressed against the fuselage from the outside. Lancaster's feet were stuck between the steering wheel and the control panel. The plane just sat down – with the pilot half sticking out of the cockpit. To prevent the pilot from finally flying out of the plane, the steward had to hold the captain's legs until the landing. The flight attendant holding the pilot believed that he was dead, but did not let go, because he was afraid that the body would get into the engine and it would burn, reducing the chances of the liner landing safely.

The creator of the popular cartoon "Shrek" William Steig copied his character from the professional wrestler Maurice Thillet.
The real prototype knew 14 languages, played chess brilliantly, and despite the intimidating face and enormous strength at first glance, was a very modest and friendly man.
He was born in 1903 in Russia, in the Urals in a French family, which in 1917, in connection with the revolution, returned back to France.

Pictured is Jacob Miller, a veteran of the American Civil War. In one of the battles that took place on September 19, 1863, he was shot right in the forehead. His squad, deciding that their comrade had died, left his body on the battlefield. After Miller woke up among the dead, he independently caught up with the retreating squad. After being wounded, he lived for 54 years. 17 years after the memorable battle, a piece of lead fell out of Jacob's wound, a few years later another one, and so, for 14 years, the bullet gradually left the body.
