Why Pilots Dump $100,000 Of Fuel Mid-Flight

Fuel dumps explained: sometimes the white trails behind planes are planes dumping fuel mid flight.

In this in-depth exploration, we reveal the truth behind fuel dumping, one of aviation’s most misunderstood emergency procedures.

From the billion-dollar engineering that allows planes to jettison fuel mid-air, to the terrifying 2020 incident where children were doused in jet fuel over Los Angeles, this video explores the world of in-flight fuel management.

Why do pilots dump tens of thousands of gallons worth up to $200,000 How do they do it safely? And what really happens to that fuel in the sky, or on the ground?

We break down the science, systems, and tough decisions behind an action few passengers even know exists, but one that could save lives.
