Multiplication is hard…
What connects these two accidents?
Cracked by varuns88 , Atul Mathew , Goyal , gudanggurum , Rohan , Chandrakant Nair , rajeshvj , Dibyo and piezocake.
Answer:
- The Gimli Glider, an Air Canada Flight – lost fuel and glided to a halt
- The Mars Climate Orbiter – Blew up somewhere over mars
Both mixups happened because of errors in conversion between imperial and metric units :-)
