Delta jet headed to LAX for emergency landing dumps fuel on school playground; 20 children treated
2020-01-15
[LA Times] An airplane returning to Los Angeles International Airport on Tuesday morning dropped jet fuel onto a school playground, striking several students at Park Avenue Elementary School in Cudahy, officials said.

Delta Flight 89 ‐ a Boeing 777 ‐ had taken off from LAX with 149 passengers on board and was en route to Shanghai when it turned around and headed back to the L.A. airport.

"Shortly after takeoff, Flight 89 from LAX to Shanghai experienced an engine issue requiring the aircraft to return to LAX," Delta spokesperson Adrian Gee said. "The aircraft landed safely after an emergency fuel release to reduce landing weight."

#4  Coulda dumped it in the water.

I'm sure the Delta lawyers were consulted and determined the ultimate potential liability of dumping it anywhere but in the ocean was less.
