TL;DR

An American Airlines flight from LaGuardia to Charlotte was forced to make an emergency landing at JFK Airport after a bird strike caused an engine fire on the Airbus A321. The plane, carrying 190 passengers and six crew members, landed safely with no injuries reported. The incident is reminiscent of the 2009 "Miracle on the Hudson" where a US Airways flight made a successful emergency landing on the Hudson River following a bird strike. American Airlines has apologized and is inspecting the aircraft for damage.
