Cheers for landing safely! But to run out of fuel in the first place... and then push your luck by trying to take off again in such a situation, never mind without making sure the unorthodox 'runway' was absolutely clear...
While it's great to see that no one was hurt, I can't help but find it funny that even the reporter seemed amused by the fact that after all of the effort... the plane wound up on that flatbed truck in the end. Ouch.
