I had a friend on that flight! He said:
"So the 767 couldn't pressurize after takeoff out of Heathrow, so we've circled the English Channel for 5 hours dumping and burning fuel.
I think they're making us wait because United Airlines and British Customs won't know what to do with us, or where to send us after we land again.
I think this will be a 48 hour journey."
Here's a screen shot of them dumping fuel...
