Narrative:
Our crew was forced to shut the left engine down after the left oil pressure went to zero, followed by strong vibrations and noise from the left engine. We completed the required checklists, gathered information from dispatch about divert options, and decided to proceed to cyqx (after turning and descending north off of track F) for an uneventful single engine landing on runway 4. We landed with 90 souls on board and approximately 48000 pounds of fuel.
