More than a dozen elementary school children are being treated after a plane dumped jet fuel over a school playground near Los Angeles.
The incident happened at Park Avenue Elementary in Cudahy, California, just after noon on Tuesday, inspector Sean Ferguson of the Los Angeles County Fire Department told CNN. Seventeen children received minor injuries from the dump, and six adults were also injured.The department tweeted that the substance was jet fuel.While the children were playing, a plane approaching Los Angeles International Airport dumped the fuel, which fell over the group.
Sometimes I have to stop for an emergency power dump on the way to work. Honk if you see my fat ass on the guard rail.
People are saying cnn supports delta dumping fuel over a school playground
This shit happened at my parents house when I was in my teens..
Slightly less catastrophic than the 'crashing into the terminal building in a ball of flames because it was too heavy to stop in time' scenario, but yeah, nasty.
Hopefully this doesn't melt any steel beams.
Just take a shower and quit your crying
Love the people saying “JuST gO WasH iT oFf! DUH!” Think about getting that stuff in your eyes, genius.
Why would you drop kerosine at such a low attitude like go higher up or smth
Who here thinks it would have been better for the pilot to ignore SOP and attempt a landing with a full load of fuel? Are people really this stupid that they don't realize that the plane was returning to the airport with an emergency?
wtf...
هذا على مابيدو بسب عطل فنى.فى الطائره ولان نوع الطائره رديى
Just a thought. L.A. Happens to be next to a big body off water. Maybe fly over Ocean and dump fuel instead of our kids. Wake up Delta.
Let me guess, it was somehow in a Black or Latino neighborhood?
I am a smoker, what would’ve happened if .....
17 new multimillionaires after the law suite.
'Planes aren't supposed to dump fuel over populated areas' So what went wrong this time?
What would Greta think 🤔
Who was the brain trust that slapped a school down in the light path that close to an air port, a few blocks left or right of that path makes a world of difference. This sounds like a city planning fail but what else should be expected from LA
I was a passenger in than plane. We didn't have many options. Lest we died.
That pilot should ride bicycle only until death
WTF.............!
Nice
God what a horrid situation. Dumping fuel is done when an aircraft can’t just circle to waste fuel. I’m wondering if there is something more to the story to make a plane dump fuel so it can land..... just poor everyone.
Oh my goodness

Glad those kids weren't smokin...
Delta makes so much money and their profit sharing is thru the roof. This could be a lawsuit but they dgaf - they’ve got the $ for whatever happens.
I don't care should not have happened over a school!
Smh!!!
Go home. Take a shower. Gosh
Of course MSM wants to hype up a totally routine process 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Delta Why are dumping fuel over populated areas, Why isnt this done over the ocean before landing? tomcostellonbc
wth?
RTERayDarcyShow heard about this from yer man talking about funerals. Pilot from Ireland that refused to dump fuel over school...wow and here it is in real life !
Omgosh!! 😯🙄🤔
Hey Delta if it's so safe then we get to release aerosol jet fuel in your offices during the work day for the same duration as our kids were exposed to. Screw you!
If the school doesn't sue than they should help the parents do so! This need to stop, they drops over the Communties as well.
BUT DID ANY STEEL BEAMS MELT!!
The news is not portraying this correctly. There were hundreds of children hurt and scared for their lives. It was raining jet fuel across multiple cities Multiple cities & schools reeked of fuel for an extended period Incompetent + illegal dumping. FAA smackdown is coming.
Can someone explain how a pilot thousands of feet up could avoid any sensitive area when dumping fuel in an emergency. So are people saying that in an engine or any other emergency consultation must be sought even though the lives of 100's of passengers could be at risk?
Imagine if this had happened over Calabasas or Beverly Hills ?
Lmao
Wait...this is Trump's fault right?🙄
why? couldn’t it wait until it was on a higher altitude!
delta this is horrible, how can this happen? From what I read in the other responses, this is a common occurence, except this time it happened over a school playground. I hope they get sued and the gov puts new regulations, so this doesn't happen again.
Ching ching
Headline could have been 17 kids shot dead by gun man, thankfully jet fuel just requires a shower
Boeing 767
Just love how people post without even reading the article.
Lawsuit coming in 3-2-1
Get ready delta. There's some lawsuits coming your way.
What the heck? Delta
WTF!?
_jrtxt sure you wanna still fly Delta
The thing they don't tell you about gasoline fights...
Delta responded by saying all 17 children will receive one free drink coupon on their next flight.
Thats why Smoking is not allowed at schools. Because of shit like this.
Nothing compared to what Democrats have dumped on that stste for decades
“Minor injuries” is when jet fuel is dumped on someone else’s child.
Lawyer 🤨
Wtf Delta?
well this is infuriating
Get that check kiddos
Great job Delta
Please read the article before you reply. The Delta jet, heading to China, declared an emergency soon after take off. They have to dump fuel so they can safely land. It’s an irritant but not life threatening and it could have saved those on the plane had they had a hard landing.
Well that's one way to own the libs
WTF are they dumping fuel when we have a climate crises that involves FOSSIL FUELS? Delta YOU MUST ANSWER FOR YOU LACK OF JUDGEMENT AND WILLFULLY HARMING THE EARTH AND ITS CHILDREN!
