I just read something on this. Don't know all the lingo of the trade,
but there was something in writing that allowed this flight to proceed
under the known conditions. The pilot initially didn't want to fly,
don't recall exactly why he decided to depart, but I do recall it was
only after they had gone over the fuel situation a couple times.
Also, I seem to recall there was a failure of something or other that
factored in, possibly a valve that prevented the center tank from
filling? May be confusing this with another incident though.
