Art Zuke was a teenager when the Air Canada Flight 143 jet made a safe emergency landing July 23rd, 1983, silently gliding into the old runway at Gimli Manitoba and nearly hitting him and two friends on their bikes. At the 25th Reunion he tells his story.

stopy using imperials, can't you use KM instead of "moles"? and this is why flight 143 crashed.

I grew up a 1/2 mile the airfield. I can hear gliding Cessna a 1/4 mile away. Most people can. An aircraft of this size makes even more wind noise. It isn't supersonic and it isn't a Grob sailplane. It's a jetliner with it's gear down and doing violent forward slips. It makes hella noise. Some people are just daydreamers. Including this guy. The pilot did a foward slip not a sideslip. Sideslips are for wind correction and forward slips are to add drag.

the aircraft was totally silent. The boys had their backs turned and saw it just in time to dart away.

@madzane94 It was a dragstrip, and If they were in the strip itself, there probably were railings on the sides..

Natural selection says that they should have died. Anybody who wouldn't leave the strip to avoidd the aircraft, is a guaranteed idiot.

Actually the boys weren't dumb at all. The plane was totally silent and they were looking the wrong direction. So when you see a huge plane coming you would probably have done the same thing. The runway had a metal barrier down the middle as well.
