According to this BBC report - the jets may not have had sufficient fuel to push further out to sea
and maintain a margin of safety.

I had a look at the news reports here....they did say they were low on fuel and didn't want to land with a payload.
I guess it will give divers something to look for now. Just not what should be there though.
