Part 6/9:
The cockpit was filled with chaos as flight crew and passengers realized their dire circumstances. Off-duty SAS pilots on board could hear distress signals and became deeply concerned about the crew’s inability to communicate effectively. One such pilot, Per Halberg, offered assistance to manage the situation.
The struggle was clear as attempts to restart engines failed. Finally, with dwindling options, the crew had to focus on finding a safe landing spot. Emerging from the clouds, the captain spotted a small field ahead—his only chance of survival.
