This is breaking news on local tv, I posted it to chat because I have no link...
Still dumping fuel, TV reports a plane on takeoff has to do it because the plane is too heavy to land with a full fuel tank...

Could have ingested a bird. Turbines don’t like birds.

Been dumping fuel for 18 - 20 minutes now. A mention was made that there seems to be a lot of fuel considering it is an overseas flight.
Witness on line now.
Said he was on the beach, heard a loud explosion, said he heard another sound like a large helicopter sound, then saw plane with flames shooting out of one engine. Flames were visible for 2 - 3 minutes. Witness lost sight after that.

I’m amazed that link is labelled “plane-crash” when the plane is still in the air and may yet make a safe landing on a runway.

Looks like fuel dump is done. Azeana Flght 271.
On final approach...

Anyone know yet if this plane had just taken off from Sea Tac, or, was it coming in from overseas?
