Burien mayor calls for 'plan of action' at Sea-Tac Airport after LAX fuel dump incident

A day after a jumbo jet departing from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) dumped fuel over four area schools sickening dozens of children and adults, the mayor of Burien is calling for the Port of Seattle to develop a plan to address the possibility of a similar incident at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.

“It was shocking,” said Mayor Jimmy Matta. “I live in a city where planes fly over every day. That could happen in Burien. That could happen in neighboring cities around the Port.”

Matta said he thinks it's important for the Port of Seattle to develop a plan of action.

The Delta flight out of LAX, which was headed for Shanghai, was only airborne for a few minutes before being forced to circle back to the airport to make an emergency landing.
