Probably already mentioned, but I read that the pilot technically had enough full to make it (just barely). He realized part way through the flight that it was getting close but was likely worried about causing a delay (soccer in South America is serious business), so he pushed ahead assuming it would be a normal flight. Then when he got to the airport, another plane was having issues and was given priority landing which put this plane 4th in the queue to land. The fuel ran out.
A really unfortunate, but also preventable situation.
I also read that one of the players had just opened a letter from his wife saying that he was going to be a father....
