For those of you that have already jumped up and down putting the boots into the operating crew, have a close look at yourself. You weren't there on the night conducting approach after approach. Nor were you there in planning stages of the flight when it comes down to fuel requirements, alternate choices, etc. Therefore, at these very early stages of the investigation, why don't you let the cat bite your little bullsh-t wagging tounges and not fill this thread with crap.

The facts as reported speak for themselves....An operational aircraft RAN OUT OF FUEL.

There really isn't any way out of that.

If it didn't, then it had no business being at sea level.

Everything else that happened may be debated, but a prudent skipper (and every pilot should be...that's what you ultimately get paid for) would not have let the situation deteriorate to where the only option is to emulate a flying boat.

I suggest you cool down and moderate your language. Maybe a long walk off a short pier might help
