Delta has tough questions to answer from the FAA about why it dumped jet fuel over a school during an emergency landing at LAX
At least 44 children and adults at several elementary schools near Cudahy, Los Angeles, were affected after the fuel was jettisoned.
The flight turned north over the Pacific Ocean immediately after taking off and began to climb, but leveled off north of Calabasas before turning east over Los Angeles to circle around and return to the airport. Typically, a plane will dump fuel when it needs to return to the airport because of a technical problem or an on-board medical issue.
Multiple children and adults were treated for jet fuel exposure at Park Avenue Elementary School in Cudahy on Tuesday, Jan. 14, 2020.In most cases, fuel evaporates before reaching the ground. It was also not immediately clear whether air traffic controllers approved the fuel release over a populated area from low altitudes.
