Big ol' glider

Mark this under things you don't want to happen while on a trans-Atlantic flight. An Air Transat Airbus A330-200 tried its hand a being a glider after possible fuel problems caused it to land without power in the Azores Islands. A "fuel problem" on a trans-oceanic flight is not something an airline wants to be known for.
