Fun fact, the Gimli Glider happened in 1983, 16 years before the recording of "Deja Vu" by Italian eurobeat artist Dave Rodgers. However, despite this, the song was still audible from the ground as the plane was landing, at a volume of 120 decibels.
If ever there was a RL time that deserved a Deja Vu moment, it was that plane. I'd read accounts of the side slip, but to see what it actually looked like is insane. That took guts to do something like that.
It’s kinda sad that this happened in 1983 and not something like 2009 with US Airways 1549 where the incident was caught on camera, because this would’ve looked insane irl. It’s also frankly ridiculous that this aircraft wasn’t preserved after the accident, because it got scrapped which is really sad.

Captain Pearson was an extremely experienced pilot, and had a lot of experience with gliders and side slips before this event. Everyone on that flight was so lucky to have a pilot as experienced and skilled as he was to pull off an maneuver like this on a plane of that size.
@@thecodingninjaisepic3561 Error. He was a Glider Pilot. Glider pilots and J-3 Cub Pilots all have side slip experience (Especially 1-26 Glider Pilots. 1-26 spoilers aren't very effective compared to other sail planes.)
@@thecodingninjaisepic3561 The National Geographic documentary was wrong about him never performing a side slip in a glider. Subsequent documentaries on the Gimli Glider have Pearson being an incredible glider pilot with a great deal of experience. What he didnt have experience with is performing that maneuver in a 767. Side slipping is not common in commercial aircraft, but a less extreme "crosswind technique" is very common for commercial pilots. Pearson was a hero that day to get the plane on the ground as safely as possible.
@thecodingninjaisepic3561 the documentary was wrong. Slips are a basic manuever that Private Pilot Students in both airplanes and pilots must be able to perform for their respective checkrides. What made it special was that because of the aerodynamics of swept wing aircraft like airliners slips have a much lower margin of error and can easily put you in a spin. That's what made it special. The normal prohibited manuever (in airliners) was necessary and he executed it perfectly
And this is why senior airline pilots should be respected. For all the thousands of flights that start and end without a hitch there is always the one that ends up with taking a hundred lives into the hands of your ability to make 200 tons of aluminum aggressively give gravity the finger.
darthrex354 Pearson got demoted until Air Canada put every one of their best pilots through the simulator in that situation. Not one pulled it off, they all crashed it.
It's entirely his own fault the plane was in this situation though. What kind of moron doesn't know the difference between metric and imperial and then doesn't check your fuel level before taking off? I check my fuel every time I get in the car let alone a fucking plane
The co-pilot's face...the pilot's face...the here we go....the timing of the music....this video is art. Thank you for bringing me so much joy in 30 seconds.
Scott Buchanan you could never see something like that on radar, although this maneuver is more common then you think, the average private pilot flying a propeller plane does one 1 in every 4 flights and glider pilots do it up to 6 separate times in ONE flight, Transport Canada glider pilot, license number GG846559
Rinaldo Kiissa I'm not sure of the exact airspeed during the landing, but the reason the pilot did this maneuver was to shed altitude for the landing without gaining too much speed and overshooting the runway. Normally you'd do this by extending the flaps but that wasn't an option in this case with all of the avionics failures. Prior to executing the "drift" (actually called a forward slip in this case), the pilot was gliding the plane at 220 knots which is over 400km/h, so long story short, they very well could have been going over 290 km/h! Edit: I just looked up the landing reference speed for a 767-300 and it gives a range of 122 - 173 kts which is 225 - 320 km/h, and the Vref at max landing weight is 144 kts or 265 km/h, so you're probobably correct about the speed lol. Never mind. This is what I get for going all nerdy on a meme reference
during a forward slip, (no it’s not a sideslip although it is a real maneuver) the speed is pretty much the same from the moment you enter depending on how steep it is, so if you entered at 250 knots (nautical miles per hour) you would probably exit at that speed, and neither wing is close to stalling here, in fact when performing these maneuvers we speed up (by about 10 knots) to avoid stalling because of the abnormal flight conditions that raise the stall speed are present. Transport Canada glider pilot, license number GG846559
I used this in my aeronautics presentation in class last year and made everybody die of laughter. We were learning about gliding a plane and certain maneuvers that gliders do. Thanks for the epic video!
This is the perfect iteration of this meme. This is the end of the line. No-one make another version of the meme, because it would do a disservice to its memory. Let it go out guns blazing at the glorious zenith of its potential.
It's just perfect, I keep coming back. The "here we go", the ridiculously overexaggerated sideways position of the airplane, the music, just everything.
All these years of watching this episode and I somehow never caught the "Pearson has never actually performed a sideslip in a glider" before Man straight up pulled off a move he'd never used before in a plane decidedly not designed for it What an absolute legend
It's not accurate, I've performed a forward slip in a glider and I only have 4 hours total time. it's quite common, and the captain in this case was an accomplished glider pilot who would not bat an eyelid at slipping a glider, but an airliner is a different beast for sure.
Imagine, you're sitting in your house and out of nowhere a plane is flying overhead and is sideways. What would you think about at that moment. For me it is: Do I hear Deja vu or is that just in my head?
This is the equivalent of going from learning how to drive to racing nascar. Pearson never preformed the impossible but pulled it off first time. In a 767 no less!
If any of you people are wondering what is going on here we need to go back to before the flight. Canada was switching over to the metric system and air canada was at the time doing this with there 767, the plane involved in this. When fueling up in Wilmington the fuel person was not told that he had to fill the plane with about 24,000 kilos of fuel, instead he filled the plane with about 24,000 pounds of fuel. Now a pound is half of a kilo so they were Half in the flight when they lost fuel, they tried diverting to Winnipeg but the destination was too far, the Winnipeg ACT helped them when they diverted to a old abandoned airspace person knew when he was a glider pilot. They were going to fast though and too high, person decided to preform a slide slip slowing down the plane and keeping it in the right direction, the hydraulics were not working anymore so they deployed the gear by gravity, it was bad when the nose gear failed to lock in place dangling off, back to the airspace area, what they did not know is that a race was taking place there because the old runway was not being used for planes anymore, so when they touched down the nose gear collapsed causing friction to help slow down the plane, then the main gear hit a guard rail causing it ti slow down about 150 feet from the stands with a-lot of people in them. Everybody survived and the plane was repaired to be retired in 2008. And that is the story of air canada flight 143. Fun fact i was born in 2008! Reply or like if you enjoyed!
I actually saw this episode in its entirety and I have to say that the two kids that were cycling away from the plane is just as worthy of the meme as the plane drifting... I read a lot of the comments (not all of them lol) but haven't seen anyone point this out.

So much confusion between a side slip and a forward slip, a forward slip is what you see in the video, a side slip contrary to popular belief is when the nose stays pointed in the intended direction with one wing low and slipping in the low wing direction by using opposite rudder of the low wing, it’s like a forward slip but the bank and rudder is far less aggravated

Also known as crabbing while crosswind landing
air traffic control: nani?!
vo7tage I don't think that Gimli has ATC.. It was a race track when the plane landed.

MULTI AISLE DORIFTO
Who wants a better video from me about this? With a drifting BOAT???
This never gets old
Every single detail about this flight is absolutely delightful.
This still manages to crack me up to the point of tears on my 27th viewing
As a pilot side slips are tricky in cross wind for a skyhawk much less a damn 747, but this gets me every time, lmao
767* that is what he said...
i’ve done front-slips and side-slips in a tiny little cessna before, this is multi-engine driftingu!
No engine drifting to be precise since they were out of fuel.
Co-pilot: noooooooo you can't just drift a plane!
pilot: haha plane go skrrrrr
I expected a normal clip from the air crash investigation episode...
WHY
Yenrz1345 yeah, why did you expect that
icannotfly the title was pretty mundane looking to me. So I expected just a regular clip. But then I noticed the 400k+ views...

*Flying a Cessna 152 with a friend*
"Hey, guess what?"
"What?"
"DEJA VU!"
*Does 45-degree sideslip*
Instructions unclear, aircraft lodged in a cornfield.
Actually... 60-degree one according to the documentary (Air Crash İnvestigation ~ S05E02)
So much confusion between a side slip and a forward slip, a forward slip is what you see in the video, a side slip contrary to popular belief is when the nose stays pointed in the intended direction with one wing low and slipping in the low wing direction by using opposite rudder of the low wing, it’s like a forward slip but the bank and rudder is far less aggravated
The Canadian Flight Deck thank you, good to know!
Imagine being in that plane and it just starts drifting and you think "This is it, this is the end" but then you fucking make it.
Amazing
All thanks to the late Capt. Pearson.
