Upon takeoff, everything seemed normal, but behind the scenes, an impending disaster was unfolding. Approximately an hour into the flight, alarming indications of low pressure began appearing on the cockpit instruments, suggesting fuel pump malfunctions.

With their altitude rapidly decreasing, they swiftly directed their aircraft toward the nearest airport, Winnipeg.
