Makes you wonder what went wrong such that he couldn't make the airport

Gross, who has been flying for 12 years, said he wasn't sure the exact
cause of the aircraft's trouble, beyond the stalled engine, but he
suspected that one of the plane's fuel tanks was empty.

Gross said when his fuel tanks are at full capacity, his plane could
fly about 1,100 miles. He said he thought it was full when he left
Las Vegas.


Oh oh, not good. The insurance won't like that....
