Southwest Airlines flight 3695 has been forced to land back at Denver International Airport after an engine cowling on a Boeing 737 plane reportedly fell off during takeoff and struck the plane’s wing flap.
The flight apparently rose to about 10,300 feet before returning safely 25 minutes after takeoff. No injuries among the 135 passengers and six crew members aboard were reported. The original destination for the flight was Houston.
The airline has said maintenance teams are reviewing the aircraft. At the same time, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced it will investigate the incident. The plane entered service in June 2015 and is expected to continue operating until at least 2028, according to FAA records.
