American Airlines Flight 309 made an emergency landing at JFK after
having engine trouple.

An American Airlines plane flying out of LaGuardia Airport may have
dropped engine parts on the roof of a Queens business before landing
at JFK Airport, according an airline spokesperson.

American Airlines Flight 309 took off at 8:17 a.m., but was forced to
make an emergency landing at JFK Airport at 8:35 a.m. after an engine
failed, American Airlines spokesperson Andrea Huguely said.

Port Authority crash crews responded and discovered metal fragments in
the fuselage of the plane. The Port Authority notified American
Airlines that debris may have fallen on to the rooftop of a company on
123rd Street in Queens, according to the Airline.

The debris "appears to be parts of the aircraft," Huguely said.

The plane's pilot heard a loud noise as the plane was climbing out of
LaGuardia. He safely landed the plane at JFK. There were 88 passengers
and five crew members on board.
