But I guess they can't dump it in the ocean, because a whale might drink it or something. Can't have that.


In the 80's we took a flight out of Maui on a DC-10 (en route to DWF w/ a stop in Oahu), guess it was a bit heavy and they dumped a shite ton of fuel out over the ocean before landing in Oahu.

Flight 89 declared an emergency

Declared emergency.

Priority One: Get it safely to the ground.

Little DaQuan and Braxxton will just have to wash the jet fuel off with soap and water.

Meanwhile a couple hundred people or more live to see tomorrow.

Anyone know what the very first FAA rule is?

When in an emergency, there are no rules.

You do what is necessary to save the souls onboard the aircraft.

I would imagine dumping what is highly flammable jet fuel, anywhere on land, is a bad idea.

Something for the kids to play in. No more harmful than gasoline.

fricking dumb.


Speaking of fricking dumb, you’ve got to be pretty fricking dumb to not be able to figure out why a plane would be dumpling fuel. In fact, I’d say you’ve got to be downright fricking stupid.

Do you think it is better or worse to make that landing with hundreds / thousands of pounds of highly flammable fuel on board?



That's not why. If the plane lands with a full tank of fuel it's too heavy and can cause a ton of damage to the plane including taking it out of commission for a bunch of inspections all the way to crashing totally. It blowing up like a Michael Bay movie is like concern number 20 on the reasons why they dont want to land heavy.

They always figure enough fuel for the trip and a little extra so that when a ane reaches its destination it's not too heavy to land

Be honest...until I explained the real reason you thought it was just to keep from blowing up.
