Its not like she planned on a return to 18/36 in the event of a failure only to find it wasn’t there.

Plenty of single runway airports around the place, and you don’t add a second runway just in case someone wants to do a turn back.

Best comment is above. The fact she walked away is a testament to the fact she probably flew it right down to the ground, which likely saved her life.

Investigation will determine if a lack of fuel planning/awareness was the cause of this, and if, and rightly so, questions should be asked of the training.
