NY-to-Moscow jet returns safely after engine fails

A Moscow-bound flight carrying about 200 people
returned safely to John F. Kennedy International Airport after an
engine failed Sunday night, authorities said. No one was injured.

Delta Flight 30 reported one engine had failed shortly after
takeoff, said Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Laura
Brown. The plane departed at about 4:40 p.m. with 193 passengers
and 11 crew members, Delta Air Lines said.

The plane dumped fuel before landing at about 5:50 p.m., Brown
said.

Passengers were put on another jet, which was scheduled to
depart for Moscow at about 8 p.m., Delta said.

More than 100 firefighters and other emergency crews went to the
airport to await the plane’s arrival, the Fire Department of New
York said.

Earlier reports of a fire on one of the plane’s wings were
incorrect, said FAA spokeswoman Holly Baker said.
