Dumped about 120,000 liters of fuel for this landing. BA must have deep pockets to afford that, not to mention having to find another jet to complete the trip

Why not continue on to Midway? It burns off the fuel and gets the pax to their destination. Does it matter what airport they set it down at?

No idea why Midway popped into my head. O'Hare is what I meant to type.
