Dumping fuel over land


Recommended Posts

I found this article about the emergency - typical news item 'packed with passengers' - really ?? 130 people in a 787 ??

Anyway - it shows a map of the route......

If you look at that elipse - my house is on the inner of the two right hand turns - so he circled near me about half a mile eastwards.

Height is difficult to judge - but I would stake my life that he was less than 5,000ft - maybe 2-3,000 ft.

I just wish I had taken a photo :doh:
