Check out the beginning of the vid whilst the hornet touched down. Only 1 inboard drop tank fitted on landing. If there was one missing, then it's not surprising that it was dumping fuel all over the deck!!

Jag, that's the standard "double ugly" tank config for the ATFLIR pod on the left cheek station.
