It can if you ignite it.

Well, sometimes it's either that, or dump the passengers, crew, plane, AND hydrocarbons. Should be pretty simple to understand.

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."

And nobody even was transported to the hospital, and the bar for transport is very, very low. Meaning this is almost nothing.

This.
In case of a crash landing, they don't want fuel to cause a fire/explosion.

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.

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.

If that were the case, then the pilot wouldn't have refused the emergency route he was offered. Twice. 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. He fucked up.

I'm not saying he was preparing for a crash landing, but that it's standard procedure to do so in case of one.

Out of 1700 flights per day, it's not a big deal.

I should say "it's not considered a big deal" instead of it's not a big deal. But yes, it does pollute the ocean. Probably effects everyone within a large radius too.
