As a pilot, there are a few situations you hope you’ll never EVER have to encounter and one of them is the total loss of controls of your aircraft, with no checklist to help you solve it. This is going to be a bone chilling account of one of the most consequential aviation accidents in modern history but it’s also a story of airmanship and a willingness to keep flying the aircraft, no matter what! Stay tuned!
