BOSTON (AP) – A Northwest Airlines DC-10 that took off from Logan International Airport in Boston Tuesday night bound for Amsterdam was forced to return to the airport after one of its engines failed, Massachusetts Port Authority officials said.
Spokesman Phil Orlandella said Flight 38 took off at 7:02 p.m. with 253 passengers and a crew of 10 on board. As the plane took off from Logan Airport, people in the terminal could see flames coming from the No. 2 engine located on the tail of the plane, Orlandella said.
He said the plane landed safely about 20 minutes after taking off.
