On January 16, 2002, a couple of voyager pilots decided to laugh at the face of a thunderstorm, and to fly between thunder cells. This had the totally unpredictable consequence of a double engine flameout, and a ditching to a shallow river.
This voyager flight is often mischaracterized as “Garuda Indonesia Flight 421” by mainstream media. Fly this route again, this time no thunder dodging.
