  1. how do you get more information regarding this plane crash? Who would be investigating? We were told the plane ran out of fuel, that was why the 2 engines failed. Thank you

  2. Talking to first responders and primary sources is the best way to go, at least until the official reports are posted. Though the official reports take a long time-by the time they come out, it's hardly newsworthy.
