American Airlines plane flying ‘Miracle on the Hudson’ route strikes bird, makes NYC emergency landing
An American Airlines plane made an emergency landing in New York City following a bird strike shortly after takeoff.
Flight 1722 – which was carrying 190 customers and six crew members – left LaGuardia Airport and was heading to Charlotte, N.C. on Thursday night before being diverted to John F. Kennedy International Airport.
The Airbus A321 was following the same route that US Airways Flight 1549 took in January 2009 when it struck birds after takeoff and was forced to land in the Hudson River.
