Possible Airplane Sabotage At JFK

By Newsradio 88 Staff

UPDATE: The FBI, the Federal Aviation Administration and Port Authority Police are investigating cut wires found underneath the cockpit of a Pan Am plane at Kennedy Airport today.

A Pam Am spokesman would not say which wires were cut on the A300 Airbus. The plane made two round trips before reporting the problems.
