This is why I stopped relying on CNN as a news source a long time ago.

I wonder if that's a problem unique to the 777's or do all aircraft have this same problem? They should have expanded on the subject for some of the less informed viewers

News Flash: This problem MAY extend to ground vehicles as well!
Someone should let them know.

Not to worry. The Feds will soon pass a regulation requiring aircraft to stop flying when they run out of fuel.

CNN produces more Cow Flatulence than cows do. I think the Gob'ment is looking in the wrong places for green house gases.
And as far as CNN, if they said Good Morning, I'd be asking myself... What the Hell is going on now?

If I remember correctly, during the oil embargo in the seventies, there was a state - I can't remember which one - that passed a law that it was illegal to drive in to the gas station with an empty gas tank.
