On August 2005, a Tuninter ATR-72 ran out of fuel and was forced to ditch in the sea near Palermo, Italy. Of the 39 people on board, 16 lost their lives. The mistake was simply the installation of the wrong fuel gauge from a similar model of plane. This displayed an inaccurate reading; significantly higher than what fuel was actually on board.

This has also been uploaded several times under the title “Ditch the Plane” – except there’s a British man narrating.

You don’t inflate your vest because you wont be able to escape the cabin should it fill with water – you’ll be too bouyant.

Why didnt the crew notice that the fuelburn was incorrect during the first flight? I thought that virtually all commercial pilots check the fuel enroute.
