Ran out of gas and couldnt figure out where the nearest airport was. Now the family is trying to blame ATC.

I’m not even sure what legal duty ATC has to pilots and passengers other than follow the regulations. I’ll be curious how this proceeds.

I am curious if they have any such duty as well. After all, even LEOs have no duty to protect a specific person or intervene in a particular incident.
