Where: Dubrovnik Croatia
When: Jan 18th 2011
Why: While en route, 2 out of 4 of the Lufthansa engines had to be shut down.

Pilots diverted the plane to Dubrovnik Croatia where they made a safe landing.

Bishop Joseph Point, Deacon Eric Fennis and press chief Wim Peeters were aboard the flight en route from Frankfurt to the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa to host the feast of the Baptism of the Lord. Wim Peeters is quoted as saying he saw smoke coming from the engine.

Lufthansa said there was smoke from the galley, but that would not have caused two engines to be shut down.
No injuries were reported. The flight is under investigation.
