Part 6/10:

With all engines flamed out, KLM Flight 867 plummeted toward the earth. Their instruments briefly failed, plunging the cockpit into darkness as the standby battery kicked in. The aircraft, now akin to a large glider, descended rapidly towards the treacherous Alaskan mountains below. The crew worked feverishly to restart the engines as a sense of urgency intensified.

Panic ensued as they received false alarms indicating a fire in their forward cargo hold—yet they had no means to confirm if this alarming information was true.
