Several dozen students and adults were treated after a Delta flight dumped jet fuel on four schools in Los Angeles, according to officials.

The fuel caused minor lung and skin irritation to more than 40 children and adults, said the Los Angeles County Fire Department, which said it dispatched staff to Park Avenue Elementary School in Cudahy, Tweedy Elementary School in South Gate, Graham Elementary School in Inglewood, and San Gabriel Elementary School in South Gate.
