Default FedEx MD-11 nose gear issue in NY?

My old man just called asking if I knew anything about an MD-11 having a nosegear issue in NY, he thought JFK. He saw it on FoxNews, said he saw the plane taxiing on the TV, so couldn't be too serious. Anyone else see it?

Maybe you just got lucky then! Lighten up man. I bet the reason that my dad saw it on NATIONAL news and I can't find it is that Fred sent the black helicopters over to FoxNews HQ in NYC and took the video! If you're upset it was on the news, blame someone else, not me or this board.

Or just quit giving the media something to report on. Helping to shut down ORD doesn't help...

Keeping active taxiways clear helps too!
