Plane Ran Out of Fuel at 41,000 Feet. Here's What Happened.
Interestingly, this plane was still in operation at Air Canada until 2008, and I flew on it many times (there was a little brass plaque near the front entrance). Also interesting, Air Canada has had flat screens on the back of all of their seats since the 90s and of the many shows available for viewing was the show Mayday. So I got to watch the Mayday of the crash on the Gimli Glider, on the Gimli Glider.
