ATC Handling of Low-Fuel American Flight

I believe the closest would have been Love based on the point at which he
mentioned the fuel problem. This has already been addressed in this thread
so I suspect you already knew that Matt.

I'm not condoning what ATC did or how they responded, but like the UK pilot
that continued on single-engine across the pond I wonder why AA continued on
past a suitable airport once they knew they had a problem. That's all I'm
questioning.

If the aircrew "needed to get on the ground right away", why did they
overfly other suitable airports? That action alone could have suggested
to ATC that this wasn't that big an issue. Love Field has equipment to
deal with air carrier class aircraft and they flew right past it even
after being asked about landing there.

Between Tulsa and DFW, which airports would those be?
