I've read the full report (unlike the media, I fear). It is very factual and I believe balanced and reasonable. What the media will not pick up on/report is that the sheriff concluded that the fuel gauges were misreading. He sated this several times. He also said he believed Dave ignored the red captions because the information he was getting from the CAD (no yellow caption) and the indicated fuel contents contradicted what the red captions were saying. I always believed this to be the case and I'm glad the sheriff concluded this from the evidence. What is unpalatable to us but is factually correct is as the sheriff stated (and this is the only thing the press will pick up) if both transfer pumps had not been switched off and the red captions ignored then this accident would not have happened. Thats the fact. The why we will never know.
