Falling from the Sky: Flight 174 is the movie upon which this real life air drama is based, and Air Crash Investigation is one of the best that covers this fateful Air Canada flight. Sure, Sully is glorified but this is Sully x 10, and there were no deaths remarkably.
22,300 kilos of fuel instead of 22,300 pounds...the consequences of metric being ignored in the switchover in Canada. Kin of reminded me of the Simpsons episode where the secret society boasts about preventing the USA going metric.
Anyway, Captain Bob Pearson, the hero of this drama, flew for 10 more years after the incident, and he even had a cameo in Falling from the Sky: Flight 174
