Boeing 737-800 engine cover falls off during Southwest flight
A Houston-bound Boeing 737-800 plane operated by Southwest Airlines returned safely to Denver International Airport on Sunday after an engine cover fell off and struck the wing flap, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
The agency said it will investigate.
In recorded air traffic control audio, one of the pilots said that “several passengers and flight attendants heard something loud hit the wing.”
In a statement to CNN, Southwest said passengers would take another plane to Houston and would be approximately three hours behind schedule.
“We apologize for the inconvenience of their delay but place our highest priority on ultimate Safety for our Customers and Employees,” the statement said. Southwest said no injuries were reported.
Boeing declined to comment and referred CNN to Southwest for information about plane and fleet operations.

It’s almost like this is all…..connected….and this is being done intentionally.
Seems like no ones talking about Boeing anymore,was it the eclipse?
damn it i waa just on a 737-800 last week😭
"If it's a Boeing am NOT boarding"
WHAT IS FAA DOING THESE YEARS?
Planes should last a very long time, being built in 2015 is not an excuse.
This is what a corruption scam can do to people and the whole industry!!
Mcas "multiple catastrophe auto system"
While this company is going to shit I still love the 737
BOOOINGG EQUAL TO XIAOMI NOW 🤡
They need more ducktape
Got nothing to do with Boeing you losers….
just boeing things 🙂
Thank god for the video capture, otherwise the pilots would have thought it's just shits and giggles.
Not defending Boeing in any way there a corrupt company & I would not fly on one atleast a MAX. But this is almost a 10-year-old aircraft with probably many flights under it, If Boeing does the maintenance I would say there responsible if Southwest does then them! No matter what the manufacturer remember this ain't new like the Alaska flight and it's a mechanical object so 10 Years old vs. new is a big difference with issues.
If it's Boeing, I'm not going.
I’m worrying about the Sam Salehpoor 😢
It is said it is the latest in a string of failures for Boeing.
At this point, I do not thing it is a, "string of failures."
This is a ship's mooring rope of blatant, pitiful, self certifications, after hiring illegal aliens to build jets.
at this point i refuse to sit on anything made by Boeing.
Corporate greed, Boeing and the airlines are cutting cost at expense of safety.
It's called a fan cowling, this is a maintenance function to properly latch the fan cowl, and not a defect with Boeing itself, this was missed by Southwest flight crew and Southwest ground crew fyi
Pretty sure they are the biggest airline supplier in the world. More planes than anyone else so its within reason there would be more incidents than other companies
I just observed a Boeing 787 return to Phuket Immediately after takeoff. Looks like the main landing gear stayed down. Flight Etihad 433 today. Love to know the cause. I recorded and uploaded a video of the safe return to Phuket. https://youtu.be/ERi5-E3teKI?si=5eJgx_iFZlqOyJIc
