Because the thread was titled Singapore Cargo Emergency.But who says there was one ?He was dumping fuel to prepare for a return to BRU.So "nitefiter" takes it on himself to call it an emergency.
It may well have been,but just dumping fuel doesn't make "an emergency".

eg.

If a gear downlock pin had been left in,a return would be necessary,but no emergency would exist.

And a real time-critical emergency would probably involve an overweight landing without dumping.
As nobody else knows anythingf,I guess it wasn't anything special.

Nice try though nitefiter !!
