The pilot of a Boeing 737 had to apply the brakes as quickly as possible when it appeared like the engine may blow up, and the entire event was caught on camera.

Several passengers on the Southwest Airlines flight from Denver to Houston on Sunday morning noticed that a metal fragment had come loose from the side of the aircraft and was fluttering around as the aircraft took off.

Watch the video; the engine cowling that covers the massive turbine’s sides flies up, appearing to be held together by nothing more than a few loose pieces of metal. The jet does not slow down at all at first.

On the other hand, the pilots stopped the aircraft by slowly rolling it to a stop so that the turbine was almost completely exposed. This happened when the portion flew off and split apart.

According to Southwest Airlines, TMZ was notified that the passengers managed to safely leave from the aircraft and board another one,

enabling them to reach Houston around three hours later than their initial scheduled arrival time. The airline claims that it is currently looking into the mechanical failure.

Recall that just one month prior, a United Airlines Boeing 777 promptly experienced a tire blowout during takeoff,

resulting in multiple cars underneath it being crushed. This is merely the most recent in a long line of technical issues that Boeing is facing.

Naturally, another aircraft’s door blew off during a flight, forcing the 737 Max 9 to make an emergency landing in Portland.

Therefore, it appears that the corporation that makes airplanes is experiencing more of the same issues as in the past with this most current one.
