Headed to JFK?? This was a plane leaving LAX and they couldn't get the gear up then?

Has a full load of fuel, trying to get the fuel unloaded over the ocean before attempting the landing. May take quite some time to dump that much fuel.

I guess this problem was noticed when they attempted to retract the gear on take off, the gear didn't respond, did a flyby to see what was wrong, did a "oh #@$@#" and then are now getting ready for emergency landing.
