    Very cool video! Although the article makes it clear the author has no idea what they're talking about; steam coming out the engines?!

    Must have been something somewhat serious. I don't know CO's policy of fuel dump, but I know that for us unless it's a pretty serious emergency we won't dump fuel and will just sit and burn holes in the sky until we get light enough to land...

    Tower advised that they saw unusual venting from the left gear after takeoff and sure enough the crew couldn't get the gear to retract, indicating a possible hydraulics leak.
    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9
