Very sad. Puts our own 'tragedy' of the past 24 hours firmly into perspective.

I have been wondering that. Planes are always given more than enough fuel before they set off, just incase they have to go off course for whatever reason. To run out of fuel therefore is very strange. RIP to all the victims BTW.
