The last time something like this happened it was fuel waxing up resulting
in power loss on final approach, which I'm sure will be examined.
How can something like that possibly happen these days? Hasn't the
tendency of diesel fuel and similar substances such as jet fuel to gell at
low temperatures been well known for a hundred years? Wouldn't it be
standard procedure to add an anti-gelling additive at the refinery?

Ayup! But if there is a human involved, they screw up formulations.
Additive could have been left out.
I've seen it too many times. Just got a report today of such a
screwup. Not of the life or death sort. But the mixer was short the
main ingredient so he put in half, then the full amount of all the
other 11 ingredients. No brains. Faulty thought process. Actually
he is normally a smart, thorough and dependable guy. I just don't
understand the thought process at all.
