The A/C ran out of fuel plain & simple, who is ultimately responsible for that? Not too hard to guess who. The chain of events here demonstrates that humans are the weakest link in the event sequence. Check out the almost total blank look on the faces (probably again hollywoodized) in the cockpit when the low fuel pumps warning started to alert. That alone just goes to show that all the training under the sun won't keep us safe. Have we leant anything from that event? Nope not a thing but for some 'entertainment' value!
Congrats to the crew for saving the day, a task that is almost unimaginable but they where ultimately the reason why they where there in the first place.
