The fuel left floating on the surface of the bay

Would that be the same fuel that was spilling out of the wing as it fell into the bay???

I'm watching NYC Channel 7 (ABC)and an American Airlines pilot is on the phone saying Pataki is incorrect - the Airbus 300 series plane doesn't have the capacity to dump fuel - that it's impossible to do. He said that the pilots absolutely cannot or do not have the ability to dump fuel on that type of plane.
