REALLY.....???????????????????

It may be a remarkable landing for such a large bird at such a small airport, particularly as there are no injuries or major damage.... however, I have to ask "WHAT WAS IT EVEN DOING THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE??"

What happened to the good old fashioned PPL stuff that says you have enough fuel to destination AND then onto your planned alternative? Its short sighted to say the least to not even have enough to get from Kili to JK - all of 130nm??

Sorry, but having no injuries at the end of this fiasco does NOT make this crew heroes in my book. No way, no how!!
