For the benefit of anyone outside the industry

The inevitable consequence of such a high bank angle, held for more than a few few seconds, will be a very high rate of descent. The descent could subsequently be stopped only after rolling the wings level.

Minimum landing fuel for a 737 would typically be at least 2000kg, or 1000kg following a diversion.
