A United Flight 328 (Boeing 777) was departing from Denver to Honolulu when the 2-engine wide-body jet experienced a right-engine failure shortly after takeoff, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
The flight returned to Denver International Airport (DIA) and landed safely. Passengers deplaned on Runway 26R and were transported by bus to the terminal, the FAA said.
Broomfield is located within about 16 miles northwest of Denver International Airport. After the engine trouble, westbound Flight 328 turned south over the Rocky Flats National Wildlife Refuge, then southeast over Denver, Aurora and circled around the airport for an approach from the east — from about as far east as Strasburg.
The aircraft was climbing from about 9,000 feet to 13,000 feet in the area of Broomfield, and was in descent following the turn back to Denver International Airport. The aircraft’s altitude over Denver and Aurora was about 9,000 feet.
