(Video) Running Low on Fuel: British Airways 747
A British Airways 747 approaching Singapore gets stuck in a hold and the flight crew become concerned that a diversion and fuel emergency will become necessary. This visualisation, which follows the 747, contains air traffic control audio recorded between 2:30PM and 3:40PM local time on Sunday, February 9th 2014.

I found the video fascinating - both the graphics and the audio. Thanks to whoever assembled this.
Can someone, perhaps ex or current crew of BA, once and for all clear up this mess? Did this incident actually take place? Did the flight actually reach critical fuel level that required priority handling by atc? Was any report raised to complain that atc had handled the flight badly and endangered the aircraft? If this incident is nothing more than someone's imagination, then let's all stop throwing wild accusations at Changi atc.

Does anyone know what airport that was to their south whenever they requested their left hand turn toward their destination airport?

We are the target audience. The captain is responsible for the fuel. The ATC was horrible, I would pull that controller as they new the aircraft was fuel critical, and couldn't vector appropriately. I was a little worried their for a second but the pilot did his job and the plane landed safely.
