Second JetBlue flight makes emergency landing

A JetBlue airliner from Tampa, Florida, landed safely at New York’s John F Kennedy International Airport today after its pilot reported a problem with the wing flaps as the plane prepared to descend, an airline spokeswoman said. No injuries were reported.

The emergency landing came one day after another of the airline’s planes circled southern California for hours with a faulty landing gear. That plane also landed without any injuries, but passengers watched in horror as they saw the drama unfold on news broadcasts on their in-flight TVs.
