"a pilot died in a similar
incident in 1998 when a windshield on a 747 fell off and the pilot was
sucked and froze to death. "

The pilot didn't die
It wasn't in 1998
It wasn't a 747
The windshield didn't fall off (it blew out)
The pilot was only partly sucked out
He didn't freeze to death.

Other than that, the statement was correct
