Narrative:
While enroute to london; the left pack failed (left pack temp). Emergency checklist for left pack temp was run but pack remained inoperative. Talked to dispatch and maintenance. The captain in consultation with dispatch decided to divert to a domestic station instead of continuing on an ETOPS flight. I concurred with that decision. Approximately 30;000 pounds of fuel dumped at or above FL240. Ran overweight landing checklist as well as all normal checklists. Emergency declared and landed overweight at 340;000 pounds or so. Landing was very smooth and uneventful. Braking was very gradual and smooth but even so; two tires eventually deflated at gate and were replaced. Pack fixed and we refueled and resumed our flight to london.
