Delta Flight 89 was en-route to Shanghai when the plane had to turn around after a compressor stall, resulting in the emergency fuel dump which unfortunately landed on Park Avenue Elementary School in Cudahy.

The fire department noted that two classrooms of children were outside when the liquid rained down from the sky after which students and teachers were told to go inside.

The jet landed safely at LAX International Airport where police met the aircraft.
