\"Debris<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Debris from a United Airlines Boeing 777 landed by a home in Broomfield, Colorado<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DENVER (Colorado, US), Feb 21 (NNN-AGENCIES) — A United Airlines Boeing 777-200 jet with 241 people aboard landed safely with no injuries at Denver International Airport after engine failure caused debris to fall Saturday afternoon about 25 miles away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

United Flight 328 bound for Honolulu experienced “a right-engine failure shortly after takeoff,” around 1 p.m. MST, the\u00a0Federal Aviation Administration<\/a>\u00a0confirmed in a statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 231 passengers and 10 crew members disembarked from the two-engine plane on a runway and took buses to the terminal, the FAA saidV<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About 25 miles south in Broomfield, the police department\u00a0posted on Twitter<\/a>\u00a0it received reports that an airplane had engine trouble and had “dropped debris in several neighborhoods around 1:08 p.m.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reports said debris had fallen on soccer fields, homes and yards in the Denver suburbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The debris was described as “possibly some exterior pieces of the plane,” Rachel Welte of the Broomfield Police Department said at a news conference. She said she was surprised no one on the ground was injured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The extent of property damage was unclear, according to North Metro Fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The National Transportation Safety Board is in charge of the investigation, according to the FAA. According to Federal Aviation Administration records, the plane was built in 1995 and has Pratt & Whitney engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police said the NTSB “wants all debris to remain in place for investigation” and urged people not to touch or move the items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

United Airlines officials are working to schedule passengers on a new flight to Honolulu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

America’s worst aviation disaster 41 years ago involved a jet engine falling off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On May 27,1979<\/a>, one of the three engines of an American Airlines DC-10 taking off from O’Hare International Airport bound for Los Angeles fell off and landed on the runway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plane rolled over in the air and plunged to ground less than a mile from the runway in Elk Grove Village, killing all 271 aboard and two on the ground. — NNN-AGENCIES<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
