Forgive me A&C I was being lazy, and went on a stint on this thread with nothing but useless info, and from what I can see, the only thing I am guilty of is being a bit rusty on distance between LGW-SAM and back around. I don't know exactly what altitude they'd be at around SAM, but with their weight and step climbs out of LGW I was ball parking it at around FL200-FL250. Again with that altitude, you'd need around 60-70 miles to get down, and now I think about it more, thats looks about right with their track miles from the picture of their flight path.
I wasn't meaning to give a tone as to them not doing a good job, my statements were meant to simply asking if a dump took place (didn't know these 330's couldn't dump) in any situation, would an evacuation normally follow suit? It's kind of why I posted in the first place, I'm sure the evacuation was required, but I couldn't imagine them dumping.
