When I taught this accident in Navy CRM, the keys we emphasized were "Captain culture" and lack of assertiveness on the part of the F/E.
The F/E knew they were short of gas and mentioned it a couple times, but wasn't very assertive, using too many lingual qualifiers in his statements.
Back in those days, "Capt. culture" was pretty common. It still is in the Asian airlines. That's why you see Korean flying into the ground in places like Guam and Tunisia. The Capt. is determined to bust mins and the crew is so conditioned that the Capt. is God, they just sit there and let it happen.
Here's the report. What it doesn't address is the Capt's aversion to fire. The Navy had that info from other sources.
