Passenger Jet Lands Safely After Reports of Fire on Wing

Write: Stoke [2011-05-20]
A U.S. passenger jet bound for Moscow has returned safely to a New York airport after reports its wing had caught fire.
The Delta Air Lines' Boeing 767 dumped fuel and turned back to John F. Kennedy Airport after reports of engine trouble soon after take-off.
Emergency crew members were sent to the airport to wait for the plane - which had 200 passengers on board - to land.
A fire official said there were no signs of fire once the plane landed, and no injuries were reported.
The jet landed at JFK airport at 17:50 (22:50GMT).
A Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) spokeswoman said the incident was being investigated.
