Passengers onboard Flight 3695 immediately got the attention of flight attendants after witnessing the cover separate from the right engine.
An engine cover on a Boeing 737 operated by Southwest Airlines ripped open just after taking off from Denver International Airport Sunday morning.
"People in the exit row across from me started yelling up to the flight attendants and showed them the damage. We turned around and made a full-speed landing,” passenger Cooper Glass told ABC News. “Pilots did a great job on the landing. We got checked out by the fire department then got towed in." “I was sitting in was right directly in front of that engine and we all felt a kind of a bump, jolt and I looked out the window because I love window seats and there was, we all lit up our call buttons because they didn't feel it or see it from the pilot's viewpoint,” Lisa told Scripps News Denver.
“Southwest Flight 3695 returned to Denver International Airport this morning and landed safely after experiencing a mechanical issue. We’re working now to get Customers on their way to Houston on another aircraft. Our Maintenance teams are reviewing the aircraft,” the statement read.
