Qantas Plane Flew on Empty Fuel Tank

Report in this mornings Melb Age newspaper.

"The crew of a Qantas Boeing 747 shut down one of four engines after a fuel tank ran dry because of a faulty fuel gauge, Australia's national transport safety watchdog said today."

I find it very hard to understand how this sort of thing can happen in this day & age given all the publicity over Gimli etc.
