Fighters are escorting a Emirates plane into JFK now
For those of you who aren't listening to the news or aren't following NYCA on twitter - An Emirates flight is being escorted to JFK by F-15 jets.
Damn... I wish I was out there right now ... stuck at work :-( Anyone going to try and catch it coming in?

It's going to be shown live on TV. Frankly, I don't think they'd let spotters around right now.
NYCA says they are on the scene.
Numerous ENG copters over JFK showing the Emirates plane on the tarmac. Reportedly Canadien Royal AF escorted the aircraft initially then handed off to USAF F-15s.Quote:

Explosive materials CONFIRMED in two of the packages BUT whether they could have done any type of damage is another question.
Reports that 2 more planes will be escorted into JFK.
NORAD just told ABC that there are no plans for a military escort at this time.
Great, chasing UPS trucks all day. Joy.
