Jet Fuel Dumped on L.A.-Area Schools

Dozens of people at six schools in the Los Angeles area were treated for minor injuries after a plane with mechanical issues dumped a load of jet fuel while returning to LAX for an emergency landing on Tuesday, officials said. Sara Welch reports for the KTLA 5 News at 3 on Jan. 14, 2020.

Given the horrendous air quality in LA, I'm surprised that anybody noticed anything unusual.

ITS UNFORTUNATE THE FUEL LANDED OVER THE POPULATION BUT PLANES ARE AT HIGH RISK TO LAND WITH A FULL TANK SPECIALLY FOR SUCH A LONG DISTANCE IN THIS CASE TO. CHINA.

Treated for exposure of “diesel fuel”? Well tell them to treat for Jet fuel instead. That might work better. xD Sorry. Just kidding. I know what you ment. I hope the children are alright. Jet fuel can hurt like hell if you get it in your eyes.

A whiff of fuel is a small price to pay for saving a plane full of passengers.

The fuel won't kill you. The plane of people at risk are MORE important than your itchy eyes.
