Foetus found on board American Airlines plane is being investigated by officials

New York officials are investigating what they said appeared to be a foetus that was found on an American Airlines jet that landed at New York's LaGuardia Airport from Charlotte Monday evening. American Airlines Flight 1942, an Airbus A321, landed at 10:42 pm Monday, an hour and 36 minutes after it departed Charlotte, North Carolina. Local media said the foetus was discovered in one of the airplane's lavatories by a cleaning crew Tuesday morning. The airline declined to say whether any of the passengers booked a so-called infant-in-arms ticket, to travel with a baby, or had given birth on the plane, or provide further detail. "As we continue to learn more about this tragic and sensitive situation, we are actively cooperating with law enforcement in its investigation," said American Airlines spokesman said. <br/>
