A plane returning to the Los Angeles Airport on Tuesday apparently dumped fuel on a school playground, and paramedics have treated more than a dozen children, said officials, which prompted the Federal Aviation Administration to initiate an investigation.
The Los Angeles County Fire Department said that 17 children and nine adults have “minor injuries” and none were taken to nearby hospitals. “There are no evacuation orders for the immediate area,” it wrote. “Substance was confirmed JET FUEL.”
