I was always taught that 'He who lives by the gauge, dies by the gauge' Sounds lucky in the case of this accident anyway and I wish him a speedy recovery.
What ever happened to a second method of checking fuel on board ie, a fuel dipstick of some kind. Or a better knowledge of the aircrafts fuel flow and setting yourself for 15% reserve min or so on.
