This is an absurd incident that happened on August 24, 2001. It was an incident that made me feel absurd because the revenue approval was canceled during the video production. The A330 glided 121km with all engines off and landed on the small island of Lajes in the Azores. The unique history of the captain made it a hot topic. After watching this episode, a movie will come to mind. It's Robert Zemeckis' 2012 movie 'Flight'. It's not a direct translation of this incident, but it must have been inspired by Captain Pichet. It's not common for an alcoholic pilot to accidentally develop his abilities. #airtransat236 Membership is a group that supports long-term projects for Docu9min. / @docu9min
