There's been a spate of similar accidents to this one over the last few years and I wonder how many of them are due to low fuel quantity, so many companies compelling and even forcing their pilots to operate with minimum fuel.

Arrive at destination with min. gas and it's hosing down, either divert quick-smart or take your chances in the rain.

Be interesting to know how much fuel was left at the end of the landing roll if I can call it that.
