This is the moment a Boeing 737 plane was forced to make an emergency landing after one of its engine metal coverings fell off and hit the wing flap during takeoff. The Southwest Airlines flight was forced to return to the Denver International Airport early Sunday. The early morning flight was on its way to the William P. Hobby Airport in Houston when passengers and crew realised the metal covering had torn off and was flapping precariously against the plane. Horrifying video shows the engine metal covering flapping in the wind as the plane moved through the air. It’s the latest in a string of bad publicity and massive safety fears for the beleaguered airline. The plane returned safely to the Denver airport around 8.15am after the incident. It had departed the gate at 7.39am. #southwestairlines #boeing #engine
