In the summer of 1983, the pilots of an air Canada Boeing 767 find themselves in a desperate fight for survival high above the Canadian Wilderness. Their massive jet has run out of fuel, and now, they are running out of time. Will they be able to make it back to safety, or will they and their 61 passengers meet their bitter end in the coming minutes? This is the incredible story of Air Canada flight 143.

I remember around 2005, I was sitting in the departure area of my gate at Toronto Pearson and watched as my plane pulled up to the bridge. It was an Air Canada 767 so I knew there was a chance it could be the Gimli Glider. I went to a different window to get a peek at the tail number, and was thrilled to see C-GAUN. My then girlfriend was less enthusiastic once she knew the history.

It is sad that the decommissioned 767 was scrapped and not placed in a historic museum. But I caught a sale where a vendor was selling oval shaped tags cut from the skin of retired aircraft, and jumped on the chance to grab one from the Gimli Glider. It's a little 1.5" by 2" oval cut from the original aluminum skin, and has some details about the plane it came from etched onto it. A neat little memento of a truly historically significant plane.

@@sovietsky5039 It's just part of the "swiss cheese" theory. So many factors lead to this fuel starvation. There are many hands who could have and should have caught it, along with the fact that the plane truly shouldn't have been approved to fly in the first place. Yes, Pearson and his co-pilot are just a couple of the handful of people that could have caught this error, but the plane using metric in a world that was still using imperial, combined with fuel gauges that were inoperative, are the leading factors. Pearson, along with a handful of other pilots, like Sully (US Airways flight 1549) and Dardano (TACA flight 110), are excellent airmen who, regardless of the situation, saved everyone aboard their crippled aircraft.

Mattyew: Yes, that was great. BUT -- THEY RAN OUT OF FUEL AT 41,000 FEET! In a jet, that's as bad as it gets, re simple mistakes caused by human error. I read the book on this, and the fact that NO ONE knew how to do the conversion properly (not captain, fuelers, etc) AND Air Canada's manuals didn't explain this, given they'd recently CONVERTED TO METRIC was just beyond belief. To me, if the company can't keep enough working parts in inventory to make the fuel gauges work -- then they should have to FILL THE JET COMPLETELY, and if they then offload some fuel, they should have to MEASURE how much they offload. If that's inconvenient -- then properly maintain the planes.

you didnt mention something I remember about this story: the boys on the runway pedaling away from the oncoming plane had spotted it during approach and were racing down the runway warning people to move out of the way. also the nose gear actually did extend when they deployed it, but didnt lock into place. when the plane touched down the nose gear collapsed and was pushed back into its well, then the nose slammed into the ground; the friction made the plane stop faster eventually.

Being Canadian this case has a special place in my heart. It's one hell of a story. I'm still uncomfortable with the recklessness of the crew taking off in an airplane they really should have known was not airworthy, and from that I'd argue that the suspensions were quite frankly not unreasonable. But it's impossible to deny the incredible technical skill they displayed when the emergency actually took place, and they certainly deserved their medals for their performance there as well.

The forward slip maneuver was something my second flight instructor taught me, so I had assumed that it was common practice in general aviation. I found out differently when I scared the hell out of my third flight instructor by using it unexpectedly. It feels like the plane is in free-fall, but is easily arrested and even modulated by balancing the inputs. Done on a less-extreme scale, it's also a dandy way to land in crosswinds.

That is incredibly miraculous that no one, especially anyone already on the runway, was not injured or killed. Great aviation video as always. I love these fortuitous encounters whereby in this case, the captain knew of the forward slip manoeuvre and managed to successfully execute it to save everyones life. Without it, the likelihood of surviving the landing seems to highly unlikely. Like the other case of the longest passenger aircraft glide, the captains experience with S-turns to decrease altitude which he had acquired from his conspicuous background helped to land the passengers safely. Of course there are many examples on this channel of stories that are not so fortunate, but I love these ones the most.
