When Air Canada jet ran out of fuel at 41,000 feet in 1983: How all 69 survived

On July 23, 1983, an Air Canada Boeing 767 experienced a loss of engine power while traversing over Manitoba. With 61 passengers and 8 crew aboard, a serious fuel miscalculation by ground staff resulted in a 45 percent shortage. Remarkably, the pilots managed to glide the aircraft and executed an emergency landing on an old military track. Thankfully, everyone onboard suffered only minor injuries, and the plane was later restored.
