Thanks Luke for a Pilot's eyewitness account of what actually happened. Sounds better. Sounds like it was dealt with by the crew as it should have been. Initially decide to dump fuel due to overweight landing then Negative when they get fire warning because it calls for immediate landing. Then deciding to go-around because not stable on approach. They would fly by the book and training. The real worry if I were them is the aftermath.
