Scary stuff! They're very lucky they didn't kill everyone on board.

With this level of decision making it's amazing that there aren't more accidents.

[quote]The crew declared Mayday as the fuel dropped below 1300 kg, the captain decided to fly a right hand visual circuit to runway 14, due to the Mayday ATC cleared the flight for a visual approach to runway 14.[b] The crew performed the visual circuit without having visual contact with the runway[/b], sighted the runway very late and initiated another go-around as the aircraft was not aligned with the runway, fuel remaining 898 kg. The captain attempted another visual circuit to runway 14, however, again sighted the runway too late and went around another time, fuel remaining 662 kg.
