A United Airlines flight returned to Dulles International Airport in Virginia on Saturday after experiencing an engine failure during its departure.
The flight, operated by a Boeing 777-200ER aircraft, was scheduled for Tokyo, Japan. Following takeoff, the engine lost power.
During the event, a piece of the engine cover separated and ignited, which subsequently started a brushfire on the ground. This information was reported by Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy.
The aircraft was carrying 275 passengers and 15 crew members. No injuries have been reported in connection with the incident.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has stated it will conduct an investigation into the matter.
