TAMPA, Fla. -- A woman who lives four miles south of Tampa International Airport claimed she was sprayed by fuel dumped from a jet flying low over her neighborhood.

Vicki Morris, 51, a real estate agent, said she was on her daily walk Monday night when the alleged incident occurred. She said she heard a whooshing sound, consistent with a plane hovering overhead, and then felt a mist accompanied by a strong fuel odor.

"It was like someone had poured kerosene to start a fire," said Morris, who said she had difficulty breathing and experienced tingling of her skin and scalp after the incident.

(snip)

Morris said she went through three bottles of air freshener while battling the scent, which was still slightly detectable in her neighborhood early Tuesday.

Jet fuel is a known carcinogen that causes irritation to eyes, nausea, headaches and lightheadedness.

1. " ..a whooshing sound, consistent with a plane hovering overhead"
WTF? Planes don't hover. Helicopters and UFOs hover.

13. Sure sounds like it, doesn't it.
I'm not in aviation, but it does seem odd.
