SkyWest plane is forced to make an emergency landing after a piece of the engine falls off mid-flight
A piece of a SkyWest plane's engine cover fell off mid flight on Friday.
Passengers Scott Jackson and Don Bumps said they heard a loud bang and felt vibrations about 20 minutes into the flight from St. George, Utah, to Phoenix, Arizona.
Jackson says the pilot then made a slow turn over the Grand Canyon and the plane returned safely to the airport, where the pilot told the passengers the cause was a detached piece of cowling.
SkyWest spokeswoman Marissa Snow said the Bombardier CRJ200 regional jet returned to the airport due to an engine warning.
She could not confirm an exact cause of the issue.
She confirmed no one was hurt and the airline is working to get passengers on another flight to Phoenix immediately. Source
