We can all be grateful that there was no fire, explosion, or loss of life.  The plane was headed to Hawaii, but they had not yet started boarding.  No, the fuel truck driver was not an AA employee.  He worked for a 3rd-party contractor.

Does anyone in the US do fueling in house anymore?

IIRC UAL was the last one standing. I know they were still doing it not all that long ago, but not sure if that's still the case??
