Daily Telegraph report on crash. Mentions engine falling separately. ================================================= Homes ablaze as passenger jet crashes in New York (Filed: 12/11/2001) AN American Airlines passenger jet, believed to have 246 passengers and nine crew on board, has crashed in the Queens area of New York. Airbus A300 Smoke can be seen rising from Rockaway Beach near John F Kennedy Airport. Up to 12 buildings are now said to be on fire, believed to be homes. Fighter jets are now overflying the area. The Pentagon said that it had not been told of any alert and that no jets had been scrambled. The cause of the crash is not yet clear and, while it is not thought to be terrorism, a Federal Aviation Authority spokesman said: "All options are open." Witnesses say they heard an explosion moments before the crash. One of the engines fell from the sky separately, causing another fire nearby. One report said that the plane crashed while approaching the airport, although other reports suggest it may have crashed shortly after take-off en route to Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic. All three New York airports, tunnels and bridges have been closed as a precaution. Authorities in New York say the plane was an airbus A300, flight 587. Queens is one of the most densely-populated of the five New York boroughs. British Prime Minister Tony Blair heard of the crash during a press conference with the Indian Prime Minister.
