@KnightTemplari OOHHH okay thats explains it... thanks :)

@Ru55ianGrim according to the vid, the plane had to make an emergency landing which of course is unexpected.The plane has to lightened the load; otherwise, too much weight on the tires and landing gear may cause it to collapse.Since it is calculated the distance,fuel necessary and the weight of the aircraft upon landing, it is crucial to land with the limits of total aircraft weight. Doward pressure adds to it, too. If no emergency, chances are no fuel would have been dumped due to proper usage.

It's a shame you can't do an air to air fuel transfer.

Yep, it's expensive. But choose:
- Keep the fuel, and TRY to land
- Dump the fuel, and save hundreds of lives.
