The jet bound for Brazil made a U-turn and an emergency landing Sunday after one of its engines caught fire minutes after takeoff from Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. The Boeing 777’s landing gear also caught fire, though the plane managed to land safely on a runway about 8 p.m. after dumping its fuel in midair.
I'm wondering just where they think this fuel lands when it's being dumped in mid-air? This is a bad problem to the structures as well as the vehicles traveling along the interstates and local roads. Have they even considered what could happen if this fuel was ignited in some way while falling from the sky? I'm not sure about the possibilities of this happening, because I don't know what it takes to ignite this fuel, but it still gives me an uneasy feeling. What's your opinion about dropping fuel in mid-air? Is it safe?
