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.

The fuel dumping story originated from an eye witness and may not by accurate.

I heard it too. Since Airbus 300-600 is rated to fly fully fueled on one engine there is no fuel dumping capability in the Airbus 300-600. If there is fuel in the bay, it probably came from a rupured tank.
