They should do an episode of the 1983 incident where a 767 ran out of gas in midair.

It aired in the UK in mid March.

It aired tonight on Australian TV. I'd never heard of this accident, so it was interesting to see (I've heard of almost all of the others since the 70s).

Good episode. I believe it was made into a movie starring William Devane in the 1990's.

Reminds me of the Airbus that had a fuel leak as it flew over the Atlantic to Europe and had to make an emergency dead-stick landing in the Azores!

Yes, I remember that one. Wasn't it piloted by Robert Piche? I remember that in the news.
