JET DECLARES EMERGENCY DUMPS FUEL OFF SOUTHCOAST MA RI

ET LINER DECLARED EMERGENCY - DUMPED FUEL OFF SOUTHCOAST.
"We don't want to dump it on top of anybody, over the water would be great" Pilot
A United Boeing 767-300, en route from Washington DC to Munich, Germany, declared an emergency off Block Island and Martha's Vineyard, last Monday, April 22, 2024.
The ATC communications via Flight Records, traced the flight being diverted back to Washington Dulles, DC. The heavy 767-300 Flight UA-108 with 186 souls on board, began its emergency turnaround literally over Buzzards Bay, and the off shore wind turbine project, about 6:22 PM.
The ATC graphic indicated the jet liner began dumping fuel off RI/Southcoast MA at 32,000 ft. After the procedure, the liner still reported leaking fuel. It maintained communications with Boston Center and NY Center as it returned safely to Dulles without further incident. Complete link here: • United Boeing 767 DUMP...

Interesting to listen in on. Brings back memories of when I used to always turn that thumb dial on the armrest of my seat and use those cheap earpieces to listen to the pilots' converse with the towers while flying coast to coast. Thx MLB
