ATC Handling of Low-Fuel American Flight

That may be true, but it isn't what this group decides now,
or even what the FAA decides tomorrow, but what did the
controller think he could do.

If he needs more training, so bet it, but I won't condemn
either the controller or the pilot based solely on a TV
edited report.
