I have been informed by a source that the a/c did not run out of fuel. How much was in the tanks? I have not been able to find any official mention of this ..has anyone seen the figures or is this speculation
.
The preliminary report, first post in this thread, says
A significant amount of fuel leaked from the aircraft but there was no fire.
Then you say:
Could a cup of coffee in the throttle area cause such a failure
that sounds like the scenario in the film Fate is the Hunter" [/url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fate_Is_the_Hunter_(film)[/url] which I understand was shown recently, with the plot line
Eventually a test flight re-creating the actual flight shows that the the crash was caused by a cup of coffee spilling and shorting out critical wiring
