Captain Eric Moody and its British Airways flight 009. The only quintuple engine failure in aviation history. (#2 failed twice.)
The plane flew through the ash cloud of a volcano. When I was in high school I did a project on volcanoes and their effects on us, and I used this incident as an example of what ash does to planes.
My uncle, who used to be a 727 F/O, was talking to me about the single engine go-arounds in the 72. He really got my attention when he started talking about pitching the nose a few degrees down at 500 ft. balls to the wall on one engine to clean up the aircraft.
