The plane that ran out of fuel at 41000 feet – the gimli glider

---

### 📄 **Description:**

In 1983, Air Canada Flight 143 ran out of fuel mid-air at 41,000 feet due to a shocking mistake: the ground crew used **pounds instead of kilograms** while refueling. The Boeing 767 had **no engine power**, no hydraulics, and no chance of restarting. But Captain Bob Pearson, a former glider pilot, managed to **glide the plane over 80 miles** and land it safely at an abandoned airstrip in Gimli, Manitoba—during a car race event.
This incredible feat of aviation became known as **The Gimli Glider**—a miracle of skill and calm under pressure.
