And again I ask, why on earth would a Pan Atlantic flight have an empty fuel tank?!?




Because you don't need a full tank of gas in a 747 to cross the Atlantic.

Oh, and I guess your a pilot, or work in the industry? No you may not need a full tank, and I didn't even insinuate that. But there would most likely be a fair amount of fuel in that tank. They stated that it was empty. Which I continue to disbelieve.
