> there will be an incident investigation that treats the situation as serious as if the plane had crashed
No the investigation isn’t as serious as if the plane had crashed. In July 2026 nine planes simultaneously had a fuel emergency in London. You bet it’s different from nine planes simultaneously crashing in London.
It helps to understand different kinds of fuel emergency. Declaring a fuel emergency to get to a diversion airport is very very different from having 30 minutes of fuel left.
