Take to the Sky Episode 148: Air Canada Flight 143 - The Gimli Glider

July 23, 1983 should have been just another day in the skies for
Captain Bob Pearson and First Officer Maurice Quintal, but a
series of miscommunications and mechanicals issues caught up with
them and their brand-new Boeing 767 once they reached their
cruising altitude. In this week's episode of Take to the Sky: The
Air Disaster Podcast, we talk about the incredible story of Air
Canada Flight 143, a flight crew who found themselves to be
uniquely qualified for the most unexpected of issues, and the
shocking reasons the plane-- now known as the Gimli Glider-- came
to be powerless in the sky.
