This video uses dramatic live footage of the ditching and rescue, giving crew members a valuable insight into the conditions on a ditched aircraft. It is also essential viewing for all pilots who may need to make the decision to ditch an aircraft. We reconstruct the flight of RAF Nimrod XW666 on its flight from Scotland when an engine fire caused the captain to ditch into the sea, 4km from the coast. Miraculously, the seven crew members escaped with only minor injuries before the plane eventually sank.
