Maybe burning fuel to reduce the chance of explosion during the emergency landing? That's quite common.
No, from the description, they clearly ignored reports that they "may have hit something", they said "nah, we good." It'll be interesting to see, when the passenger reports start coming in, whether it's plausible the pilots just didn't feel it.

#15It wasn't clear from the article. What kind of wall did they hit?
There's a photo in the article -- a brick wall.

Maybe it didn't feel that bad in the cockpit, and the pilots were hoping they would wing it. They may have thought it would have endangered their jobs (which it certainly will...)
Usually in times of partial emergencies, there is a threshold point where you full own the emergency and declare it.
