What is that one Aviation incident that you’re fascinated with?

Here’s mine: Fedex 705. I find it so interesting mainly because of the act of heroism from the 3 pilots, during an attempted hijackinng by a man by the name of Auburn Calloway. The person who mainly impressed me, is the copilot, James Tucker, because when he was struck by Calloway with one of the hammers he smuggled aboard the DC-10, he suffered a brain injury, and his right arm became paralyzed. Yet, he was able to control the aircraft, rolling it, putting it in a dive, reaching out to the ATC, and doing everything in his power to help his fellow colleagues restrain Calloway. Eventually, the plane made a successful emergency landing, with all 4 of the men being seriously injured. The flight crew was never able to fly commercially again due to the aftermath of their injuries. Calloway was given 2 life sentences.
