Boeing plane in the U.S. makes emergency landing after engine cover falls off

The Hindu  

A Southwest Airlines flight returned to Denver after an engine cowling fell off during take-off on Sunday, the Federal Aviation Administration said, the latest in a spate of safety incidents involving Boeing planes. The FAA said in a statement that Southwest Airlines Flight 3695, a Boeing 737-800 passenger jet, landed back at Denver International Airport "after the crew reported the engine cowling fell off during takeoff and struck the wing flap." "Let's go ahead and declare an emergency for Southwest 3695 and we'd like an immediate return," a crew member said, according to The New York Times, which cited radio transmissions with an air traffic controller. Last month U.S. regulators gave Boeing 90 days to come up with a plan addressing quality control issues, with the FAA chief saying the company must "commit to real and profound improvements".
