On December 15th, 1989, All four engines suddenly failed on a KLM airlines Boeing 747-400, miles above the Alaskan Wilderness. Smoke filled the cockpit, and the pilots tried desperately to restart the engines as their aircraft began falling towards earth. The lives of all 245 people on board depended on whether they could restart their engines before they hit the mountains below.
