[Scan-DC] American 352 diverting to Kennedy with possible tire problem

[Andrew Clegg]

Just copied American 352 (scheduled Chicago - LaGuardia) talking with 
dispatch on 129.4. They had a serious yaw on take-off and believe they have 
some kind of tire problem. They are going to land at Kennedy instead of 
LaGuardia because they thought the runway at LaGuardia was too short, and 
they will declare an emergency when they come in. They decided not to land 
immediately, because the pilot noted that one procedure for landing on a bad 
tire is to burn off fuel first.

Not sure what frequencies they will use from here out. If anyone's in the 
NYC area, it might be interesting listening to JFK approach and tower 
frequencies. They're probably available on an Internet stream as well.
