You can break the rules in an emergency.
Yes you can. If you go to VAS Aviation and listen to the ATC conversation the flight crew stated they had a restart and were under control. ATC then asked if they would like vectors for fuel dumping and the crew declined. The conversation continues for some time and the crew never informs ATC of fuel dumping. Yes, in emergencies you do what’s necessary, but these pilots are going to get a rectal exam by the FAA.
