Skydiver asks:

Where did I say that running out of fuel results in a crash?
What's this then:

Tom, incorrect the crash was actually a symptom of mishandling fuel and not carrying out emergency landing procedures.
and

What I stated was that the fuel mismanagement was the root cause
Technically - the mismanagement of a fuel system on an aircraft, resulting in a double engine flame out should not result in a 'crash' - if the HP carries out the correct drills and the terrain beneath the helicopter is not hostile.

Let's leave it at that eh - because if we probe any deeper, it will unearth some uncomfortable findings for all involved.
