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

[Andrew Clegg]

American 352 left its holding loop over PA a little while ago (according to 
flightaware.com), and is about 15 minutes or so out of JFK. Listening to the 
JFK tower via stream, they are reporting wind shear and an incoming weather 
cell. What a fun time!
