On October 16, 2012, Air Canada long haul flight 033 (Vancouver to Sydney) was asked by Australian authorities to assist in finding a lost sailor. The Captain lowered the Boeing 777-200 to a mere 5,000 feet and requested the assistance of the window seated passengers to help find the lost sailor who had broken his mast and was adrift in the south Pacific. Within 20-30 minutes the lost sailboat was found and his co-ordinates were relayed to Australian search and rescue personnel. The solo sailor was rescued and the Air Canada flight landed safely (yet 2 hours late) in Sydney. Good work Air Canada!!" Stock footage is all shot by me at YVR (Vancouver International Airport).
