Default ATC Handling of Low-Fuel American Flight

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.

I'm not advocating the actions of ATC here, but I am suggesting that the
crew acted in a manner contrary to what they were saying.
