Washington: A hero pilot pulled his plane out of a terrifying North Sea nosedive with just seven seconds to spare, The Daily Mail reported. The plane began to plunge after it was struck by lightning, but autopilot ignored the pilot’s commands to climb and tried to crash the plane into the sea.
The airliner pitched down, falling at 9,500ft a minute, and fell to just 1,100ft above the ocean before its commander wrestled back control just moments before it was about to crash into the icy water.
