Plane forced to dump fuel over Lake Michigan

still blew the tire...
Aside from scaring the living S#it out of the passengers and people on the ground, wouldnt it make sense to have dump & burn systems on aircraft to cook off the fuel they dump before it hits the ground? I remember a similar event in NYC where an Airbus with a landing gear issue showered most of Queens in jet fuel before landing.
that's a lot of fuel...
that is one interesting path there..
k..recalculated... about 170 grand at Retail price lol.
I think thats about 100 grand worth of fuel. An expensive Night :)
