Just another Muppet.

The FAA has released a statement stating that fuel exhaustion is the only item that has been removed as a possible cause
the umpteent time fuel starvation has been wrongly cited
"Exhaustion" and "Starvation" are two different things.

One means it is all gone, the other means that not enough fuel is being supplied to sustain the engines at the requested power settings.

Billings, fuel starvation at the moment is the NUMBER ONE theoretical cause of the crash.
