From Wikipedia
Tuninter Flight 1153 was a scheduled international passenger flight flown by Tuninter Airlines from Bari International Airport in Italy, to Djerba-Zarzis Airport on the Tunisian island of Djerba. On 6 August 2005, the Tuninter ATR 72 ditched into the Mediterranean Sea about 18 miles (29 km) from the city of Palermo. Sixteen of the 39 people on board died. The accident resulted from fuel exhaustion due to the installation of fuel quantity indicators designed for the ATR 42 in the larger ATR 72. It was also Tuninter's first fatal accident in the 14-year history of the company.
