Not so fast Chaps.

What I believe the poster refers to is the now famous Ciampino incident.

No one knows the exact figures, but training personnel in our sim centre have mentioned figures broadly in line with those the thread starter quotes. This incident is still under investigation by the Italian authorities.

These PPRuNe Threads covered the topic:

There was an internal report given to Ryanair Pilots, compiled by the Safety Officer, which I would copy, but it says CONFIDENTIAL in big black letters at the top of the page, and is copyright. It didn't go into figures for fuel on landing but multiple approaches were made. It was a very serious incident indeed. If the Italians ever get their fingers out of their butts it will be interesting reading.
