On the 20th (local time), an accident occurred on the 20th (local time) of a United Airlines airliner departing from Denver, Colorado and heading for Hawaii, in which the engine failed and a huge debris fell into a residential area. Fortunately, there was no human injury.
According to the Denver Post and AFP News, the engine on the right side of the United Airlines’ Boeing 777-200, which left Denver with 241 passengers, including passengers and crew, ignited shortly after taking off.
In the video taken by the passengers, the aircraft’s wings were swaying unstable, the cover completely disappeared, and the engine on the right was on fire. The aircraft made an emergency turn and made an emergency landing in Denver safely.
In Broomfield, a city outside Denver, large debris was found from an accidental airliner.
The debris created a hole in the roof of one house, with a diameter of 1.5 meters.
The US Federal Transportation Safety Commission (NTSB) has initiated an investigation into the accident. The cause of the accident is not known exactly, but it is presumed to be due to the loosening of the large wing that rotates in the front of the engine, Bloomberg said.
