William Rankin was flying an F-8 Crusader jet fighter on July 26th, 1959.  During the flight, the engine stopped, and a fire warning light flashed.  He was forced to eject and parachute into a cloud, where he got stuck in a thunderstorm.  He suffered severe decompression which casued his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth to bleed.  William was stuck in the storm for 40 minutes, but he survived the experience.
