Fuel dump or burn it off by circling. Going elsewhere would be inconvenient to passengers unless they had a replacement plane and/or crew in LAX which was likely. Unless you're Delta flight 89 and then you dump fuel over populated

It's unlikely they have records because they don't need anymore bad press after John Oliver barbecued them into carbon and pressed them into a diamond. They are on the back foot and now have little choice to cooperate as the path
