How does a plane manage to take off without enough fuel?

Isn't there a control panel light for that that? Like for a car when I fail to fill up at Petro Can?

Something smells in Denmark about this.

I understand these soccer players were beating the hell out of other teams, even though they were players who didn't get a chance on major teams. So this was an underdog team, winning. I don't think it sat well with someone.

Truly tragic event, my deepest condolences to the Families & Friends of all on the plane.

And there is more to this story. The Airline president no less is now detained answering questions like, "Did anyone approach you as to this particular team and which airplane they'd be using?"
