There seems to be an issue with the Etihad flight leaving Melbourne this evening—it's circling over the bay and dumping fuel.

Dammit, I was fooled! I thought this post was about an Etihad fuel dump but instead it was an emergency on board! So much for the days of Canada Dry fuel dumps.

Given it'd just taken off & I presume it's fuel tanks were pretty close to full (as I assume it was heading to the Middle East which is a decent distance) ... it can't be good having that much avgas dumped? I mean obviously better than a giant full 'plane consumed by a fireball ploughing into a crowded airport terminal, but it still can't be good?
