Is it likely that they dumped most of the remaining fuel over the hills in those extra 27 mins while they were going around?

Victory for whom? Nobody looks good in this sorry saga.

Well, they flew it back empty of passengers to Haneda.
As someone said, each incident can help improve aircraft safety for the future.
Personally speaking I really do not like this new generation of plastic planes, whether Boeing or Airbus or wherever. Great in some respects, not so clever in any crash.
Many thanks for the detailed reply, Technorati. Gravity, plus wind pressure I wonder?
Agreed on the cool resuts for the captain, crew and his plane-load of passengers.

Naturally Boieing and ANA engineers will want to work on this quietly and decide whether it was the warning light that was faulty or the landing gear mechanism itself.
So, in the meantime just trawling through some other news sites to try and pick up any other hints.
A member of "Fly Team" tweeted that the landing gear stayed locked in place, if I have understood the report correctly. http://flyteam.jp/news/article/5647
「収納されたまま」would seem to mean packed shut, put away, or fully retracted.

Technorati, how many times can they do this in one flight?

No axe to grind here, but it seems that political adroitness often goes hand-in-hand with sexual maladroitness.
Use of the word 'grope' above suggests the man is unable, or feels it unnecessary, to 'read' the woman.

Go Kazuki. It took a few moments to get my head around the arrangements, but it sounds fine.
Now if we could just have some decent media coverage of the event.

gelendestrasse, not a happy thought. Perhaps they would foam the runway, or use the grass. The biggest worry with carbon fiber is fire.

Imagine being in one of these and hard at work when it develops a glitch. Would two similar suited workers be able to drag you out of there???

The word 'glitch' is used only in the English translation.
The original Japanese reporting calls it 'trouble' and 'hiyari' which means a scary moment. The plane was 27 mins late on landing. A twitter message was sent at the time saying the main landing gear had failed to deploy properly.
They found another plane for the return flight, and ANA has meantime started using their second Dreamliner to fill in.

Yuri, the article doesn't mention Ms Bialek was ever under any kind of promise.

Cool pic!
Not often you get to see Mr Mitsubishi, Mr Mazda, Mr Honda, Mr Toyota and Mr Nissan standing in a line.
Just hope they don't try to smash those boxes in front of them!

Carlol the Jackass looks so 'dapper' there. He must have masses of secret fans.

Hmmm... you guys have given me minus SEVEN! That's pretty harsh.
Anyway I stick by it. Maybe they were friends, but if you pull a turn suddenly when you are flying alongside someone, (as the article says) what do you expect? You're gonna hit. And I am sure it happened in a split second. Oops... and that was it. Do something really stupid and instantly regrettable. Darwin moments happen like that.
Boo points? Sure, bring 'em on.
(But I am glad in this case that the sensible one survived.)

Is this some kind of ethnic cleansing, or religio cleansing that is going on?

Well there's a Darwin moment.
Sad the guy lost his life, but I guess they were doing what they loved.
