NEW YORK (WABC) -- Passengers were taken off a plane at JFK Airport Monday night when a fire broke out in the wheel well on the taxiway.
Delta Air Lines flight 420 was about to take off for Ghana when the incident happened at about 7 p.m.
The fire was put out and passengers were taken off with mobile stair ramps.
No one was injured.
A statement from Delta says the flight aborted a takeoff following an airspeed warning indication and while it was taxiing back to the gate the brakes overheated.
The Port Authority says there were no flight disruptions.
