Students Sue Delta Air Lines After Flight Dumps Jet Fuel Over LA Schools
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) — Three local high school students are suing Delta Air Lines after a pilot dumped thousands of gallons of fuel over land last month before an emergency landing at Los Angeles International Airport.

If the plane needed to get on the ground immediately, then an overweight landing ought to have been performed.

Agreed, It is designed to fly on 1 engine for many hours.....Hope Delta pays! Pilots ignored and gave false information . These 2 pilots need retraining immediately.
The other shoe just dropped...
