  • A Delta flight dumped tons of jet fuel over nearby schools during an emergency landing Tuesday in Los Angeles. 67 people, including children, needed treatment after exposure.
  • New transcripts show that the pilot was asked whether he needed to dump fuel on his way back. He replied “negative” — but the fuel was dumped anyway.
  • Pilots are only supposed to duMp fuel over unpopulated areas, or high enough up that it evaporates before getting to the ground. The FAA is investigating why this didn’t happen.
