Exactly. It’s not how much fuel you begin with (although they seem to have had more than plan), it’s what you do when it starts running out, through circumstances outside of your control. They made everyone aware of their problem then got it onto the ground somewhere safe, without being too distracted by the fuel state. Job well done IMO in a very rare situation that’s going to happen to someone at sometime.
