United Airlines flight suffers engine failure, sending debris falling
on neighborhoods outside Denver!!
A United Airlines flight was forced to return to Denver International Airport Saturday after it suffered an engine failure shortly after takeoff, sending aircraft debris raining down on soccer fields, homes and yards in a Denver suburb.
United Flight 328 was able to return to the airport around 1:30 p.m. after suffering an engine issue, an airport spokesperson said.
The Federal Aviation Administration confirmed in a statement that the Boeing 777-200 safely returned to the Denver International Airport after "experiencing a right-engine failure shortly after takeoff."

Re: United Airlines flight suffers engine failure, sending debris falling
The loud boom was unmistakable aboard United Flight 328 just after takeoff on Saturday. Something had clearly gone very wrong.
Some of the 241 people on the flight from Denver International Airport to Honolulu opened their windows to see an exposed engine spewing flames and pieces of the plane falling away.
Others closed their windows, grabbed their loved ones and prayed.
Thousands of feet below in a Denver suburb, people on the ground ran to shelter to dodge debris suddenly plummeting to the earth.
The pilots issued a mayday call and, after turning back to the airport, landed the Boeing 777-200 plane safely.
Remarkably, there were no reports of injuries either in the air or on the ground. Still, interviews with passengers show the incident provided a huge scare for everyone involved.
I don't think I would ever fly again!
What about you guys??
