DENVER, Feb. -- Passengers on a Delta Airlines flight from Puerto Rico to Denver said they arrived in Colorado to find their bags had been soaked in jet fuel.

Kathy Shoemaker and other passengers on the Sunday flight from Puerto Rico to Denver International Airport said they were told by Delta representatives to wash everything in their luggage and submit reimbursement forms for ruined items within 24 hours, KUSA-TV, Denver, reported Tuesday.

"I'm not sure what to do with baggage that smells like jet fuel, because to me that seems like a hazard and I should just dump it in my trash can. I don't really know how to handle it," Shoemaker said.

Shoemaker said the Delta workers told them the bags were likely sprayed by jet fuel on the tarmac in Puerto Rico.

"I don't think anyone wants luggage that's been soaked in fuel in the luggage compartment of their flight," she said. "I don't ever want to think that would ever happen again cause it seems to me there was enough luggage that was soaked that any kind of spark would have blown up our plane."

KUSA said its calls to Delta representatives for comment went unreturned.
