Birds innocent in JFK plane engine failure

Federal officials say there's no evidence that a bird strike caused an engine failure aboard a jetliner carrying more than 200 people - including actor Leonardo DiCaprio - that made an emergency landing in New York.

Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Laura Brown says investigators looked at the failed engine Monday and found no indication of feathers or anything else that would indicate a bird strike.

Moscow-bound Delta Flight 30 had just taken off from Kennedy Airport in New York on Sunday when pilots reported seeing a flash in one engine.

The twin-engine Boeing 767 flew out over the Atlantic Ocean, dumped part of its fuel, and returned safely to the airport.
