If they could fly for so long why not go dump it in the St Lawrence north of Quebec City, oops, sorry the Whales are there too.

(Everyone in Montreal gets out of town and comes to their cabin up here, one of my family was in a cabin right under the dump area and I have friends in cabins nearby.)

Of course anyone who buys their local veggies from the Slough, Maidenhead, Ascot area are eating the carcinogens too so obviously it is not harmful, not?.

Am I a "Nimby" ? yes when "operations" require pilots to do idiotic things.
No one on the ground would have detected the fuel dumped from 7000 feet. Navy aircraft in days gone by often dumped in the pattern at 600 feet and it was vaporized before reaching the ground.
