I found it very interesting reading. A very large degree of bad luck, handled well by what reads to me as a very competent pilot.
Fuel starvation because of abnormally high fuel burn (more than 20% greater than the POH, which the pilot had already allowed for), combined with an even worse than usual fuel gauging system - then handled impressively well by a pilot who managed a very well performed gear-up landing from an engine failure at 1000ft 2 miles out.
I don't believe that I know anybody involved and have no axe to grind either way - but it really does come across to me as very bad luck, handled very well once it had happened.
