I surprised no American pax were interviewed. Their statements would probably have been something like:

“They told us we were running out of fuel. We all thought we were going to die.”

Seems like the Australian’s beat them too it…

“I was on UA863 and we were told we had to land at Brisbane because we were low on fuel,” Vicki Johnson said.

“We were due in at Sydney at 8.10 in the morning and never arrived until midday.”

“Never” arrived….it was only 4hrs late?!:rolleyes:
