Reuters

CHICAGO, Oct 28 (Reuters) - An American Airlines jet blew a tire at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago on Friday, prompting the flight crew to abort takeoff, and passengers were evacuated from the plane via emergency chute, a Federal Aviation Administration spokesman said.

There were no immediate reports of injuries, and no further official details were immediately available.
