"A PAC spokesman told the Herald that the airplane probably didn't have any mechanical problem but just ran out of fuel."
In my view they already have exposed themselves to possible legal action, with their stupid comment to the press.
In most cases it's a crime to run out of fuel and this poor man, who is unable to defend himself, has been accused of it.
Just hope the deceased relatives instigate legal action immediately.
My condolences to his family.
