Delta airlines flight makes emergency landing after broken plane part flies into engine

A flight made an emergency landing after a piece of the plane broke off and flew into the engine. The malfunction occurred nearly an hour into Delta flight number 1425, after the plane had departed from Atlanta to Baltimore on Monday. Passengers described smoke filling the cabin area before a tense emergency landing in North Carolina. “After we heard the boom, we just saw all this smoke come up into the cabin and that’s when we really started freaking out,” one passenger said. Another passenger said the pilot announced mid-flight that the plane had lost an engine and “they were making preparations to have an emergency landing.” All 150 passengers aboard the flight reportedly managed to get on another plane later Monday evening to Baltimore. They also received food vouchers and an apology for the inconvenience. No injuries were reported.<br/>
