The fact that he didn't have to return to stand means that he DID HAVE enough fuel.

You really should know better than this - it's like subscribing to the journalists panic 'almost crashed' sensationalism whenever an aircraft carries out a go-around.

Of course we look at the weather, but sometimes it can get worse than expected / sit over the airfield longer than usual / etc. In these circumstances you can occasionally get tight on fuel (even after loading some extra).
