If these initial claims are correct, there aren’t many times where a vehicle—airplane or not—runs out of fuel without the operator doing something wrong. However, it’s always important to know the whole story. For all we know, something damaged the plane, or perhaps there was some kind of defect the pilot wasn’t aware of. Making these kinds of distinctions takes far more thorough investigations than what typically makes the news. Hopefully authorities are getting the details into the hands of experienced professionals who will use the right tools and strategies to consider even unlikely possible factors.
