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.

Tell-tale signs of lawyer-speak: 'engine issue' instead of 'engine MALFUNCTION' and a sprinkling of nice-sounding phrases like 'normal procedure', 'safe landing weight', 'share concerns' but not saying anything about the real issue: was the dumping procedure right or wrong?

Dude, 100s of ✈️s fuel dump everyday. It’s called incomplete combustion. Clueless high sulfur kerosene
