Splash one 204 in the lake 1/2 mile from the pad he was heading for.
Unfortunately didn't end so well for the Police chopper over a Glasgow pub.
The question in this (Qantas) instance isn't so much "Fuel mayday was called" but "Why?".
Everyone blaming the crew. Maybe a technical fault was to blame?
