I have a question for Morrissey;
We have heard and seen that the wings upper surface was damaged, and that one of the holes was actually INCREASING IN SIZE! Also leaking either fuel or hydraulic fluid. I would have thought that this would A:compromise the wings integrity, or B: lead to a possible fire. Did any of the flight crew come back into the cabin to inspect the damage?? If so it may have caused them to reconsider the time involved in fuel dumping and checklists and get the behemoth on the ground a bit more smartly.
