Mark I missed this one.

Years ago when canada switched from british measures to metric.
An air Canada pilot on a B767-200 got his fuel loaded in lbs, he though it was kg.

Half way to destination, he ran out of fuel at FL400 around Winnipeg Man,  being a former Air Force pilot, he remembered an old training
field now deserted.called Gimli  He glided his plane there and landed succesfully.
Air Canada fired the pilot. The Canadian Gvt gave him the highest decoration for saving his pax.
