Seventeen children and six adults suffered skin irritation and breathing problems.
Numerous schoolchildren and other people were injured Tuesday when a crippled airliner dumped a load of jet fuel onto a playground while making an emergency landing in Los Angeles, officials said.
Two classes were in a playground at the Park Avenue Elementary School in Cudahy when the fuel rained down on them, LA County Fire Department spokesman Nicholas Prange told the LA Times. Video of the incident showed the low-flying plane — which landed safely — with large twisting contrails of fuel coming from its wings.
Two other schools in the area — Jordan HS in Florence-Firestone and the 93rd Street Elementary School in Green Meadows —- were also impacted by the fuel dump.
