Bursting into Flames Immediately After Takeoff from Los Angeles | With Real Audio

On January 14, 2020, the right engine of the Boeing 777-200ER operating Delta Air Lines Flight 89 suffered a number of compressor stalls and burst into flames just after takeoff from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX); while returning to the origin airport for an emergency landing, the flight crew dumped fuel over populated areas adjacent to the city of Los Angeles.

A one time exposure while unpleasant, doesn't have a long lasting physical or neurological effects. Nonetheless, the pilots should have been more mindful especially if it wasn't an absolute emergency. My reasoning for their dump over population would be that they didn't want to take a chance of going out over water, just in case it became a sudden emergency.

You can land overweight. Depending how much the landing weight was and the type of touchdown, it could be a simple inspection.

[@oldmech619]

Oh, when planes do land overweight, they tend to overheat their brakes. They taxi off the active and set their brakes which causes the wheels to over heat, that cause a fuse to melt and that causes flat tires. And when the airplane looses more than one tire per axil, you have to get a special Rhino jack which is hard to find. And you are working on a taxiway to change all those flat tires, and you may not have enough wheels in stock and you have to go borrow wheels from other carriers. Yep, been there.

Love how people are actually defending the pilots here for dumping fuel wherever. As a pilot myself, I fail to see any urgent need in this situation to dump fuel at low altitudes above LA. ATC even asked if they need to dump fuel while over the water and the pilots declined. They never told ATC they were dumping fuel to begin with. Engine had a compressor stall, although serious, not serious enough to wait until final to dump fuel.

[@ericaasen4512]

Exactly, they were impatient, which a lot of you guys like to do that. Shut number 2 down, go into a pattern over the ocean, and make an upwind final, no need for a downwind landing. What is it, another 20 minutes. A triple 7 should have no problems on 1 engine and they'll move around whoever to get you into rotation when you're ready. A lot of poor decisions. I only have a PPL w/ IFR btw

If it isn't an emergency to not have a reliable engine what is an emergency? The pilots first responsibilities are the lives of the passengers. If my flight lost an engine the situation could get worse. I just want the passengers on the ground safely as soon as possible before something else breaks.

[@thebanksfilms4426]

@@jcraigshelton why are you so upset? I wasn’t there but there is plenty of facts on this. They dumped fuel without advising ATC and even telling them they didn’t need to dump fuel. So they dumped fuel at a very low altitude causing injuries. If they felt the need to dump fuel, that’s understandable, however not advising ATC and then dump fuel on schools is a poor decision made by the PIC.

[@hackfabrication139]

As a retired ATC ( and ATC tower supervisor), I always hated it when 'secrets' (fuel dump, etc.) where being withheld from me. They could have easily dumped that fuel at 8000 feet, but rather chose to spray it all over LA county at a low altitude. I only wonder what else they were keeping from ATC, as it all sounds a bit suspicious to me. Even if the flight crew hadn't requested equipment at the runway, I would have made the call (and did many times) to get it out there. If there are any former or current ATC's out there, you all know that if your gut say something ain't right, it probably ain't right.

[@ethanbeall6422]

What really gets me though is all of these conspiracy theorists who think that this was intentional, and that planes are making chemtrails on purpose for mind control.

[@billmorris2613]

Hack Fabrication I’m not ATC, but have been talking to y’all for over 50 years. I am a multi engine instrument rated commercial pilot with several ratings and an A&P., Air Forced trained beginning in 1968. I too think something else was happening and caused the urgency to step up a few notches on top of the engine shut down. It took 10 days to get the aircraft back in service. An engine change can be done in one day. An FAA report I read said they found metal in the back of the engine so I’m pretty sure it was changed. The tone in the voice of who ever was talking to ATC, I figure it was mostly the copilot, changed after the engine shut down. I have not been able to find a final report on the FAA’s or the NTSB’s web site. The report I did read was from 3 days after the event and said they would take a few weeks to complete the investigation. That report was a response to three congresswomen from CA who wrote a letter asking a lot of questions.

The school most affected in the area was Park Elementary who had kids outside. The kids got medical attention. Delta gave some medical help for those affected for some weeks but our community was angry during our town meeting about the incident. The fact that the pilots lied and dropped fuel on our community makes me pissed at the fact that they decided to drop dangerous liquids like if there wasn’t a community under where they dropped it.

It’s no different now. Every business in the world cuts corners because they are relying on humans to do things right every time. While unlikely that a major airline would direct that corners be cut, some of the people that do the work will always cut corners for a myriad of reasons. The tech is tired, lazy, disgruntled, incompetent, incorrectly trained, not feeling well, thinks they know a better way, doesn’t have the exact part needed, and on and on with reasons why. It happens every day in every industry, and the only reason most of these screw ups don’t result in catastrophes is because most industries are not working on life and death issues, and when they are it usually requires a series of events to come together to result in a disaster, not just one singular cause.
