He "thought" he had enough fuel? Incredible.

Yes - he thought he had enough but realised he hadn't 'when the engine stopped'....................... brilliant piece of deduction, I think. Not media mis-quoting, either, his very words on camera! This man will go far............................? :))

Waiting for JH to update us.

As my father said to me when I was a toddler "You thought! You know what thought did?" He never actually explained what thought did but his scorn and ridicule when saying this implied that whatever it was, it wasn't good! The case above proves his point I think!
