U.S.-Germany Boeing Flight Turns Back After Takeoff Weeks After India Plane Tragedy

A United Airlines Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner with 219 passengers and 11 crew declared a "Mayday" and made an emergency return to Washington Dulles on July 25 after its left engine failed shortly after takeoff for Munich. The pilots calmly circled to jettison fuel before landing safely, with no injuries. The incident came just weeks after a tragic Air India 787 crash in Ahmedabad, which killed 260 people after a suspected fuel cut-off led to engine failure. https://www.facebook.com/hindustantimes
