THE PORT AUTHORITY HAS ANNOUNCED A POSSIBLE IMPENDING CRASH SITUATION. FDNY AND FDNY EMS HAS TRANSMITTED A SECOND ALARM IN REGARDS AND HAS UNITS RESPONDING TO A STAGING AREA. THIS IS DUE TO A SMALL TURBO PROP PLANE THAT COULD CARRY UP TO 36 PASSENGERS WHICH IS EXPERIENCING ENGINE PROBLEMS.
This was an hour ago...any developments?
The plane landed safely and did not require assistance. I tried listening on the liveatc stream but there was a lot of static and I could not make out the callsign. Will try to listen to the archives. It landed shortly after 5pm.
Oh sorry but I did have to do some work in between.
