Fuel exhaustion

without a clearer picture as to how the structure of the 125 may have been compromised it's hard to know.
Certainly, the statutory reserves that should still have been on board overhead destination would deliver the aircraft to point much further to the West.

But given the nature of collisions, it is entirely possible that fuel was being released from damaged tanks or severed fuel lines for the remainder of the flight.
