Delta to Pay \$78.75M Over 2020 Fuel Dump Incident

Delta has agreed to pay $78.75 million to settle a lawsuit over a 2020 incident in which Flight 89 dumped 15,000 gallons of fuel at just 2,000 feet, dousing homes, schools, and playgrounds in Los Angeles and Orange County. Sixty-seven people, including 20 children, were treated for skin and eye irritation, though the FAA later ruled the pilots had acted properly.
