Whilst I accept that the shocking fuel plan appears not to comply with the extant regulations, surely these 71 people died because the crew (captain) made a complete hash of putting his engine-less aircraft down in a considerable more controlled fashion.
I know it's not part of one's LPC, but surely aircrew do occasionally 'play' in the sim and have a go at completing an all-engine-out forced landing. Of course it's a situation you should never get yourself into, but having a very basic idea of how you'd do it is surely not rocket science.
A big difference between day/night, weather and terrain etc, but this crew appear to have had no idea what they were doing.
Forget that this crew ran themselves out of fuel. Put a competent crew in their type, established at 20,000ft in the hold at RNG and fail all the engines. Who wouldn't manage to save at least half of those on board?
