DALLAS — American Airlines says the engine failure that caused a jet to make an emergency landing Wednesday in New York might have been caused by an object — something other than a bird — sucked into the engine. An American spokesman Thursday defended the maintenance of the jet, saying it had been put through all required safety inspections and that it appeared to be operating normally.
The jet had taken off from LaGuardia Airport and made an emergency landing at nearby Kennedy. Pieces of one of the jet’s two engines were found embedded in the fuselage.
