Damn interesting!. The story about the Gimli Glider is really great - I heard an interview with Captain Pearson on the CBC a few weeks ago on the anniversary of the incident. Wow. Just... wow. My favourite part is when they hear a loud "BONG" from the control panel - "Huh. I've never head that sound before..."

I think the comment "Bob Pearson has balls of steel" pretty much sums up my sentiment. How come I've never, ever heard of this incident before?
