SEE IT: Delta engine appears to fall apart midflight before emergency landing
Dramatic video footage taken by a passenger on board a Baltimore-bound flight Monday showed a loose spinner rattling in one of the engines before the plane was forced into an emergency landing. Delta Flight 1425 – a 32-year-old MD-88 – left Hartsfield-Jackson International Baltimore-Washington International around 12:48 Monday. About an hour into the flight, passengers said they heard a loud boom followed by smoke billowing into the cabin. “It started slowing down a little bit and it was getting hot,” passenger Avery Porch told WMAR-TV. “I was about to be the first person to jump off.” In the Twitter video, the detached spinner continues rattling while an orange glow emanates from the center. The flight made an emergency landing at Raleigh-Durham International in North Carolina around 2:27 p.m. according to ABC News, the report said. All 148 passengers on board were safe, the report said.
