TRANS AIR LINK Crash
Turbo-prop crashed on the beach. Both pilots OK.
I saw it yesterday on TV and again this morning, but unfortunately I've only caught the end of it.

Airliners.net(click) has photos of the A/C on the beach.
I suppose she'll be written off.
Thankfully everybody is ok

Ran out of fuel on a little 17 mile trip. Blamed the fuel guages. probably didn't refuel trusting the guages!

411A, I don't think so. The company can easily say pilot error. Right now there appears to be no strong indications that the company itself was in the wrong. As for trusting fuel gauges, I have always been taught not to trust them.
I worked for TAL many years ago when they operated DC6/7's. It was a fine company then. The MIA FAA always pointed them out as a company to be modeled after to new operators.

Ran out of gas?
Let me guess- us yanks are trying to beat the EU guys on this board in the Jump-To-Conclusions Olympics (referring, of course, to the Crossair crash thread).

Like Rick1128 I used to fly on the DC-6 for TAL 17 years ago and I still remember them as being a very good company. They treated us very good and were honest with us.
