"When the plane pancaked onto the runway, more than 10,000 pounds of kerosene came out all at once from the ruptured right wing and turned to mist."

I wonder why they didn't "dump the fuel" just before the crash to have avoided the fire. I thought this was standard operating procedure to dump fuel before crash landings.

I had read about the crash awhile ago and as I recall many people that died died of smoke inhalation from the fire and not the impact itself.
