A Delta plane that was preparing for an emergency landing dumped thousands of gallons of fuel over a string of Los Angeles elementary schools, causing 60 people to suffer minor skin and eye injuries.

at least was fuel and not himan wasted
No doubt they really had to dump it because the airline is losing probably something like $30,000 of fuel.
Moral of the story: “Emergency means nothingâ€ÂÂ
This is not a issue. Jet fuel us just basically oxygenated diesel fuel basically!!!
I like his teeth
Yes, they made a massive deviation solely to spray kids with fuel.
Clearly the pilots had to do what they had to do with the situation. At least they didn't crash the plane. They saved lives
This could have been a good onion video
I swear, the amount of people who didn't bother to listen for more than a minute. The problem isn't that the pilot dropped fuel, it's that they did it over a populated area with seemingly no good reason. If you look more into the story, they didn't inform ATC of their intent to drop fuel beforehand and their emergency was not severe (i.e. they could definitely have safely reached the ocean before dumping, which is right next to LAX). Thousands of planes experience engine failures all the time, yet almost always when fuel is dropped it is done over sparsely populated areas. The circumstances have to be extremely severe to warrant dropping fuel at low altitude over a city.
"Usually you're gonna wanna dump fuel out over the water or over a sparsely populated area." Actually no I'm not gonna wanna do that.
Ugh the media is sickening.
Minor injuries are better than a freaking explosion if the plane crash landed.
To reduce weight……. No thats not just it…
To reduce the explosion when the pilots did a mistake and it crashes.
Media: KiDs ExPoSeD tO jEt FuEL!
Kids when they get home: smoke weed everyday
It's a rare occurrence and done to save lives in an emergency. so… good job pilots
Sure da pilot lined it rite up 2 dump it on da kiddy winks. Americanz iz a weird bunch. Ps y was dis recommended to me I dont kare 4 planz or kidz or amerika
The pilot after watching this: should have landed in the school
1:20 did they seriously dub the sound of a small plane flying over the footage of a Boeing 777?
God bless the pilots
Normally in america they dump LEAD on schools. way more safer fuel
United would’ve dumped the passengers…ðŸ˜ÂÂ
LOL on schools
Just america Flexing their freedom
it's just fuel…
To save lives…yeah you're fine
I looked up my old elementary school and found this
Delta airlines we dont care our customers or the people
Fkng idiots! Put that plane in a holding pattern out over the sea for the dump. Emergency or no emergency, that fuel needs to be dumped at sea. Those pilots should know that. The more book smart people are the dumber their common sense skills get.
Toxic fuel lmao
Is this in South America?
The pilot was asked twice if he wanted to dump fuel twice while over the ocean. The pilot refused. Then he dumped it over people at low altitude. Dumbass.
It would be alot worse if the plane crashed into the school. I'm sure the passengers and crew on that flight have no regrets. Tell the students to take a shower and be thankful the plane didn't blow up their school.
Bet those whiny California parents got all pissed that the kids got some stained clothing instead of 300 people dying
And how are they supposed to know there's a school down there? That 777 was not a B29 on a bombing run, okay, they were just doing what is required for a safe landing.
Too be fair listen to the atc he said no to a holding pattern over Santa Monica bay
Jesus fucking Christ, they act like they were nerve gassed. But hey, let's let the massive fucking 777 belly flop into the ground and kill everyone onboard.
Weak ass children and overprotective parents. That pilot saved the lives of everyone on his plane and you guys still find dumb things to complain about.
Are schools fly zones!!!???
I go to that school
The sheer ignorance on this post. That plane wasn’t going to crash, it had a fully operational engine and could have flown for hours without a problem.
The pilots were absolutely idiotic to say NEGATIVE to air traffic control twice when they offered to hold them over the water to dump.
It's beta no 100's deadth
By injuries they mean irritation.
all these retards like "oh muh gawd how could they do this????" but they dont realize they cant aim where they dump the fuel, and its extremely unlikely they realized they were dumping on a school…. additionally, they were in a crash landing, would you rather they dump fuel on the school, or crash into it? sheesh people are inbreds nowadays
One of these school is is mine 😥
do i blow up a aircaft on landing kill lots of people or dump fuel and no one in the long run gets injered permently
Minor eye and skin injuries v 80+ people dying?….. get over it.
Another way to depopulation.
I hate the way they explain how the pilots dumped fuel. Seriously?!?! What are the pilots supposed to do? Dump fuel over the ocean?!? Or risk crashing the plane entirely!!!!!!
IT HAD TO DUMP FUEL EMERNEGCY LANDING
