PHOENIX — The U.S. Army is investigating an incident that possibly involved a military aircraft dropping fuel on multiple Valley neighborhoods, which left one woman with chemical burns to her eye.

Stephanie Bagorio was outside when she felt what she thought was rain falling on her hair and clothes, but the liquid ended up leaving her with an instant reaction that left her in the emergency room.

“The gas fell inside my eyelid,” Bagorio said.

Bagorio and several of her neighbors described a fuel-like chemical that fell from a low-lying helicopter last Thursday that landed on cars and homes off 45th Street and Broadway Road.

The sad part of this whole thing is that they think dumping excess fuel is perfectly all right as long as it is over unpopulated areas and at altitude. Our environment is just a dump for any lazy entity that wants to use it.
