Queens, NY - Jetliner Loses Engine, Lands Safely in J.F.K. Airport
Queens, NY - A jetliner carrying more than 250 people lost power in one of its two engines but landed safely at a Queens airport.
The Boeing 777 plane landed at John F. Kennedy International Airport less than a half hour after the right side engine failed, said American Airlines spokesman Billy Sanez. Officials were investigating what caused the problem on Flight 134.
"The plane landed after the captain declared an emergency," Sanez said. "It's not a common incident, but the pilots are trained to deal with these situations."
The plane was en route to London's Heathrow Airport from Los Angeles LAX. Sanez said all the passengers would be put on another plane.
