Again, an attempt to blame ALL mistakes on Boeing builds BUT does not fly the aircraft for commercial usage by airlines. the airline companies do. That plane was owned and operated by Delta Airlines. And again, the SKY is NOT falling, as NO one was hospitalized or killed. FALSE NARRATIVE strikes OUT again. Poor attempt to paint an incorrect and inaccurate picture.
So put away your umbrellas; airplanes do not drop fuel on citizens as a normal course of action. AND, a pilot error was likely made, BUT 1)no one died or even serious injured, and 2) IT WAS AN EMERGENCY situation where an engine, likely built BY GE Corp., NOT by Boeing, that failed and caused the emergency. A link below, lists the 4 likely engine makers for the 777 airplane.
FALSE NARRATIVE, once again. Get the FACTS correct before posting, please.

Four teachers are suing Delta Air Lines after one of its aircraft dumped fuel over schools as it made an emergency landing.
Delta confirmed the plane had dumped the fuel to reduce its landing weight. Nearly 60 people were treated at six local schools, many of them children.
According to the Los Angeles Times, the suit says jet fuel is dangerous to humans and cites the US Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry.
Aviation rules say that planes can dump fuel in emergency landings, but only over designated areas and at a high altitude.
On Wednesday, the FAA said the crew had released the fuel without telling air traffic control.
A transcript of radio transmissions made public after the incident revealed that the pilot had initially told controllers there was no need to dump, before later releasing the fuel.
