The aircraft had fuel on board, but not in the correct configuration (wrong tanks) Thats why the engines stopped. Why no emergency procedures were implemented are unknown but that facts are there was fuel starvation and the lack of fuel was annunciated to the pilot several times, which was acknowledged by him.

Why would anyone ignore the low fuel warning sound, on the basis that the system is "known to be faulty", but trust the same "known to be faulty" system when it shows fuel remaining on the display?
None of which we will ever get to the bottom of.
