    A plane is making an emergency landing right now.

    BIRD STRIKE

    JetBlue flight to make emergency landing at JFK after bird strike during takeoff in Boston
    By Eyewitness News
    Updated 27 mins ago
    JAMAICA, Queens (WABC) --
    A plane that struck birds shortly after takeoff in Boston is expected to make an emergency landing at a New York City airport.

    The FAA said JetBlue Flight 877, an Airbus 320, struck the birds after taking off at Boston Logan International Airport Monday afternoon.

    The crew declared an emergency and was planning to return to Logan Airport, but was then diverted to JFK International Airport in NYC.

    JetBlue officials said the birds struck the left engine, and weather prevented the plane from returning to Boston. There are 144 passengers on board.

    The flight was headed to Las Vegas. Flight data shows the flight took off at about 4:15 p.m. The plane is currently flying at a low altitude (3,700 feet) and a slow speed (approximately 200 mph) as it makes its approach to JFK.

    Here's a tracking image from FlightRadar24.com that shows the plane's location over Long Island (it's the red airplane and the green line is the path it has flown):

    The fact that other planes are making their approach is a good sign.

    It might be a sign for them to play any slot machine that has pictures of birds on it.
