There seems to be some confusion as to where this flight was actually from on the way to LHR, since AA's link suggests it was JFK-LHR

All Safe After AA 777 Makes Engine-Out Landing

Thu, 27 Jul '06
Plane Bound For London

An American Airlines Boeing 777 on a flight from New York to London was forced to turn back Tuesday night... after the pilot lost an engine and declared an emergency.

Flight 134 was about a half-hour out of JFK when the flight crew shut down one of the widebody's two engines. There were 239 passengers and 14 crew members on board.

"The plane landed after the captain declared an emergency," American Airlines spokesman Billy Sanez said. "It's not a common incident, but the pilots are trained to deal with these situations."

Passengers eventually caught another flight. No word yet on what caused the engine problem.
