If not that plane......what havoc could those batteries create?

(Wouldn’t make sense for extra fuel to be put in in China
If any additional was pumped my guess is the pilot knew or ordered it )

I’ve heard it carried extra fuel form 45 minutes to 2 hours.

Reliable source?

But without pilot intervention it would probably have flown past Beijing as it still had about 2 hours of extra fuel.
