Damaged Engine on Delta Flight Sparks Emergency Landing in Raleigh

A plane made an emergency landing at Raleigh-Durham International Airport earlier this week after “mechanical issues arose,” according to reports.

“The flight crew of Delta flight 1425 from Atlanta to Baltimore elected to divert to Raleigh, N.C., out of an abundance of caution after receiving an indication of a possible issue with one of the aircraft’s engines,” a Delta spokesperson said in an email. “The flight landed without incident.”

A video of the incident posted to social media shows the engine’s spinner loose and rattling around whatever is left of the turbofan. It’s really quite alarming!
