Originally bound for Frankfurt, the Lufthansa Airbus 380 double-deck passenger jet made an emergency landing at JFK Airport in New York on Monday night, after the airliner’s corporate offices received the phone call and informed the pilot of a possible threat, according to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
The plane’s 530 passengers were evacuated upon arrival at JFK as authorities and were put onto buses shuttled to an unknown location.’
