The fire broke out in the galley of the Tel Aviv, Israel-bound jumbo jet shortly after takeoff Sunday evening, the New York Post reported.
The fire forced the pilot to dump fuel and circle the airport before landing around midnight.
Well I think this has been already discussed ad nauseam but in this day and age I really don't see anyone circle and dump fuel with an open fire on board. I guess they where satisfied that the fire was already contained ? Anyone with more details ?

The 747 was also found to have electrical issues and a problem with a fuel pump.
Related to the fire ?
