Richard de Crespigny is the former Qantas A380 captain who was pilot-in-command of Qantas Flight 32, which suffered a catastrophic uncontained engine failure shortly after take-off from Singapore in 2010 with 440 people on board.

In this episode, Richard takes us inside the cockpit to explain how leadership, teamwork and disciplined decision-making prevented disaster when the aircraft experienced cascading system failures. Beyond aviation, he shares powerful lessons on risk, resilience and leading under pressure when there is no margin for error.
