Over two dozen, incl. children, injured after Boeing 777 dumps fuel on elementary school outside Los Angeles

Some 17 children and nine adults have been reported injured after a Boeing 777 returning to Los Angeles International Airport dropped fuel on an elementary school.

The plane performed an emergency fuel dump after experiencing mechanical problems taking off from LAX, local media have reported. About 70 firefighters and paramedics responded to Park Avenue Elementary School in Cudahy after children at the school complained of skin irritation and noxious fumes, according to local media.

Videos posted to social media show fuel streaming from both of the plane’s wings as it passes by overhead.
