Only just made the local rag, and actually avoided the usual "Orphans escape in Nuclear Plant near-miss by Airline stunt pilot" hyperbole for once. Clip and link below (incliduding pic of fuel dumping)

There were some tense moments in the skies over Central Florida Thursday night.

A 747 was forced to make an emergency landing shortly after take off from the Orlando Sanford International Airport because it lost an engine.

The plane circled over Lake County and dumped its fuel. The plane landed without incident, and nobody was hurt.

The plane was a Travel City charter flight headed to Gatwick Airport in London, England.

The charter company said it planned to put the passengers on a new flight Friday.
