Delta agrees to pay $78.7M after jet fuel dump sickened more than 20 kids

Delta Air Lines has agreed to a $78.75 million class-action settlement with Los Angeles County residents whose homes, schools and properties were doused with jet fuel when a Delta Boeing 777 dumped 15,000 gallons over a populated area in January 2020. The settlement, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, includes a $78.75 million compensation fund along with a technical testing program intended to address claims that the fuel drop hurt local property values due to stigmas of contamination.
