I believe it was called the "Gimli Glider" incident. The town where they landed all came out to help shelter the passengers. Pretty cool story.

Air canada is shit, so mistaking the fuel doesn't surprise me

If I remember the story right, it was at a time when the transition from SAE to Metric was happening.

They're still total garbage though

Do we mean they put in 22300 kg instead of 22300 lb? 22300 lb of fuel is more than twice as much as 22300 kg.

You've got that the wrong way round mate

strongsad · 6 years ago

Ya, 1 kilo is about 2.2 pounds, right?

awake_ash · 6 years ago

22,000 kilos it's somewhere around 40,000 pounds

No, 1kg is about 2.2 lbs so 22.300kg is approx 49.000lbs.
