That is absolutely inexcusable. The flight instructor and the private pilot

Stupid.. Stupid.. Stupid! >:(

This is one of those things that (No matter what!) should NEVER happen.
EVER!

Three miles... I'm not sure, but I think he would've been able to glide in had he been making a normal (for us Texans) approach.
Constructive criticism appreciated.

Running out of fuel continues to top the list of general aviation accidents, seems like some people never learn...
