Federal officials say they’re investigating a tire problem on an American Airlines flight to LA

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — The Federal Aviation Administration says it’s investigating an incident in which an American Airlines plane flying from Dallas to Los Angeles suffered a tire problem. American flight 345 landed safely at Los Angeles International Airport on Wednesday night. American says pilots got a warning of low pressure in one of the tires. The plane, a Boeing 777, has 14 tires to handle the pressure of takeoffs and landings.
