Just listened to the ATC recordings. Shocking. The pilot did not advise he had an emergency until he was already lost. His first report that he had a "fuel problem" was only a couple of minutes before impact - by then they never had a chance. The ATC were very good.
I am not a pilot, but does anyone know how accurate / what info the pilot would have had about his real fuel levels?
His call of an emergency for "electrical failure" appears to be when the engines had finally shut down from fuel starvation.
