An airplane returning to Los Angeles International Airport Tuesday morning dropped jet fuel onto a school playground, dousing several students at Park Avenue Elementary School in Cudahy, officials said.
Delta Flight 89 โ a Boeing 777 โ had taken off from LAX with 149 passengers on board and was en route to Shanghai when it turned around and headed back to the L.A. airport.
โShortly after takeoff, Flight 89 from LAX to Shanghai experienced an engine issue requiring the aircraft to return to LAX,โ Delta spokesperson Adrian Gee said. โThe aircraft landed safely after an emergency fuel release to reduce landing weight.โ
