Description

In 1977, Canada made one simple change that created unexpected chaos. When the country switched from miles to kilometers, drivers, tourists, and even police were caught in confusion. But the biggest surprise came years later when a Boeing 767 was forced to make an emergency landing because of a metric conversion mistake. A small measurement change created some of the strangest moments in history. #History #Canada #Boeing767 #GimliGlider #Facts #Shorts #AmazingFacts
