Gimli Glider: "While they attempted to restart the engine and communicate with controllers in Winnipeg for an emergency landing, the warning system sounded again, this time with a long 'bong' that no one present could recall ever hearing before. The sound was the 'all engines out' sound, an event that was never simulated during training."

A very entertaining read.
