NEW YORK — An American Airlines plane made an emergency landing in New York minutes after takeoff. The pilot had reported engine problems.

Port Authority spokesman Pasquale DiFulco says some debris was found in a neighborhood. Officials could not immediately confirm reports that the debris included parts of the plane's engine.

American Flight 309 left LaGuardia Airport at 8:15 a.m. today. The pilot reported engine problems and the plane was diverted to nearby Kennedy Airport. It landed safely and no injuries were reported.

The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating.
