NY Plane Makes Emergency Landing

An American Airlines flight bound for Chicago made an emergency landing Wednesday morning.

American Airlines flight 304 took off from LaGuardia Airport bound for O'Hare International Airport at 8:18 am.

Shortly into the flight, the MD 80 aircraft apparently had mechanical failure in engine two.

The flight landed safely at Kennedy Airport. None of the 81 passengers or 5 crew members on board were injured.

Mechanical pieces found in College Point, Queens, are believed to have fallen from the broken engine as the aircraft flew over. No one on the ground appears to have been injured.
