عادت الطائرة التي كانت متوجهة من دنفر بولاية كولورادو إلى هونولولو، بعد 20 دقيقة من إقلاعها من مطار دنفر الدولي، وذلك بسبب تعرض محركها لعطل واحتراقه.
وحسبما ذكرت شبكة "سي أن أن" الإخبارية الأميركية، إن أجزاء من المحرك المحترق سقطت فوق ملاعب ومنازل وساحات في ضواحي دنفر.
ولحسن الحظ لم يصب أياً من الركاب وطاقم الطائرة بأي أذًى.
A passenger on United 328 took this video of flames shooting out from the engine. Some people told me they said prayers and held their loved ones' hands as they looked out the window. Flight was on its way to Hawaii from Denver. Glad everyone onboard is safe #9News pic.twitter.com/c8TNYlugU2 — Marc Sallinger (@MarcSallinger) February 20, 2021
