If it was UAL, I can quite understand....

Lets see...on the CL, preparing to land. (If this story is factual...?)
Then, engine problem.

So, the concerned acft (a twin no less) goes off to dump fuel, only to return later for landing.

Were they not at/below max landing weight in the first place?

Reminds me of the UAL DC8 that ran out of fuel at PDX trying to solve a landing gear problem....ie; brains disengaged.

Good grief.
