@Dsc810 - I cannot fathom that, I really cannot - but it basically confirms my other belief - there were mutliple points to turn this situation around. It's absolutely disgusting that, even with the facts in front of him - no fuel, Emergency....he neglected to inform ATC, which ultimately, would of prioritised them. I'd face the consequences of my abysmal actions rather than risk the lives of my PAX - actually, I wouldn't have to as I would not put anyones life at risk to begin with, if I were a Professional Pilot.

I'm not sure if it was Arrogance or stupidity (We will hopefully find out) - but ultimately, it killed (nearly) all of them.

I would normally refrain from such comments, but this looks like it literally is as simple as it first appears. God almighty, I hope I am wrong as ultimately, it makes it more redeemable.
