“[The pilot] trivialized other people’s lives,” said 38-year-old Juliana Cózzer, who runs a hardware store in the city. “If you need to fill the tank, you need to fill the tank—lateness doesn’t matter. Now they’re never going to arrive.”

Unfortunate that the pilot (and co-owner of the charter company) didn't call a fuel emergency.  He flew twice around the holding pattern before running out of fuel and crashing.

Can we all please stop running out of fuel.  In every segment of Aviation. It frees up time to talk about more nuanced ways to improve safety. Thanks.

Looks like he didn't have enough fuel when he took off and skipped two fuel stops.
