MINNEAPOLIS (KMSP) -
Passengers aboard Delta flight 309 to the Dominican Republic had to backtrack to the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport on Monday after parts of the engine's outer casing separated.

the same thing happened to a Gol 737 in Brazil over the weekend. 
 
also in Latin America, an AA 767's flap system failed at GIG. 
DL carried the passengers home.

The flap system didnt fail, a rod from the actuator broke and had to be replaced.

thanks for clarifying....either way the flight cancelled.... just as it undoubtedly did with the DL and G3 flights.

Stuff happens. Stop crying wolf 700. It happens to all airlines.

Many did this while the AMFA strike was active because there was a real, significant, statistically verified rise in mechanical related events.

Now, you are just posting this out of spite. If you choose to do this, at least post all events for all airlines, each time.

You will be busy.

thank you.

Please let's never go back to the days when emergency landings were "totally normal."  

Sorta related: W/R/T security searches, and what all needs to be checked, I wonder if there is a verifiable rise (or not) in these being left open, separating in flight, etc.? Given the other protocols in place, I doubt it, but it'd be interesting to look at...

Smart move to head over to JFK.

Would have been much, much worse had they landed on the aircraft carrier La Guardia...

WT never misses a chance to remind us how Delta is better than American.
