Debris from the plane’s engine crash fell into several inhabited areas in Broomfield, Colorado, on Saturday, but thankfully no one was injured, ABC News reports.
A Boeing 777-200 plane that had taken off from Denver and was heading to Honolulu, with 241 people on board, had problems with the right engine shortly after takeoff and had to make an emergency landing. The plane returned from the road and landed safely at Denver International Airport.
Broomfield authorities have released images of debris falling “from the sky” right in front of a house, but also in other areas near parks.
Police urged locals not to touch the remains until authorities arrived to secure the area. People in Broomfiled, a town near Denver, said it was around noon when they heard a loud explosion and thought the plane was crashing. They say it is a miracle that no one is hurt.
The civil air transport authorities have opened an investigation. There were 231 passengers and 10 crew members aboard the troubled plane. No one was injured on board.
An incident similar to a Boeing plane in Europe
Interestingly, a similar incident had occurred a few hours earlier in Europe, specifically in the Netherlands, where a woman was injured. Another Boeing plane was involved, but this time with cargo. The Boeing 747 cargo plane took off on Saturday afternoon from Dutch Maastricht airport. It lost several parts after the explosion of one of the four engines, which occurred immediately after takeoff.
Pieces of metal fell in the vicinity of the Dutch town of Meerssen, damaging several cars and injuring an elderly woman. This plane was to make a transatlantic flight to New York. The plane was redirected to the airport in the Belgian city of Liège, where it landed.
