Narrative:
All I was told is that we would be landing at jfk in 1 hour and 30 min due to a mechanical problem. If an evacuation was necessary, the signal would be stated. The landing was without incident. Cockpit computers seemed to be the problem. We eventually left jfk and continued to destination. We did not prepare for an emergency evacuation, although I prepared myself as I took my jumpseat.
