So, what are the odds the people who did this will be punished?Probably nothing, the headline is misleading. Apparently fuel dumping is incredibly common as some planes can't land with too much fuel. In this case, I thought I read they were gradually dumping fuel through a majority of the flight, and it was just bad luck that it happened to be over a school. It's nowhere close to what the headline wants you to think, which is "Angry Pilots Intentionally Dump Fuel Over School Because Some Men Just Want To Watch The World Burn, Mister Wayne." --- My 'R' key is on its last legs.

At LAX fuel dumps are normally done over the ocean which is right next to the airport. This happens about 3-5 times a day without incident.
This pilot told the tower twice he didn't need to dump fuel then dumped it over a densely populated area. He fucked up. The tower twice offered to route him over the ocean for a fuel dump. No excuses. Delta will end up paying out a settlement. Hopefully a hefty one. --- It's not about the size of the dog in the fight, it's about the size of the fight in the dog. ...

This.That wasn't why they were dumping it, the plane was too heavy to land with the amount of fuel it had at takeoff. They were crossing the pacific ocean so the thing was loaded, expected to be much lighter when they reached their destination. They experienced engine failure immediately after takeoff, turned around to land back at LAX and dumped fuel to land. They weren't preparing for a crash landing. --- "Only idiots play games at ultra settings" - Fade2black001, 2018 ... Copied to Clipboard!

The route he chose was far out of the way of the emergency route he was offered. I worked emergency management/intel/operations at LAX for 10 years.
