"Southwest Pilot Declares Emergency as Engine Cover Rips Off Mid-Flight"
TL;DR Summary
Dramatic cockpit audio captured a Southwest Airlines pilot declaring an emergency and requesting an immediate return to Denver after an engine cover ripped off shortly after takeoff, causing a piece of engine cowling to hang off and strike one of the flaps. The flight landed safely with no injuries, and the incident was attributed to a mechanical issue. This comes amid ongoing safety concerns for Boeing, as the aerospace giant faces a criminal investigation and a $1 billion lawsuit over recent incidents involving its aircraft.
