An American Airlines MD-80 bound for Atlanta was forced to make an emergency landing Monday afternoon after one of its two rear-mounted engines failed shortly after takeoff off from LaGuardia Airport, officials said. No one was injured and the cause of the engine failure was not known late Monday night, said Tim Wagner, an American Airlines spokesman. Passengers were reassigned to other flights, including aboard other airlines, to be transported to Atlanta, he said.
American Airlines flight 2393 took off from runway 4 at 4:39 p.m., and immediately, airport personnel knew there was a problem, officials said.
