Iberia Express flight IB-3673 had to return and make an emergency landing in Berlin, Germany, on November 9th.
The Airbus A320-200 plane took off for Madrid, Spain, but had to return shortly afterwards after a ground observer reported seeing a jet of flame emitting from the left hand engine.
The crew subsequently declared an emergency and turned back toward Berlin.
The plane landed safely. All passengers and crew members remained unharmed.

What: Delta
Where: Sioux Gateway Airport
When: Jan 06, 2010, 11:15
Who: Not Available
Why: While en route, one of the plane’s engines developed a problem. The involved engine was shut down and the plane returned safely to Sioux Gateway Airport within fifteen minutes of takeoff. It is standard procedure on a flight, if there is engine trouble with a plane with multiple engines, that the problematic engine is shut down to avoid fires or causing further damage.
The local television station presented video and news of the incident involving a Delta.
However aviation sources including Flight Aware indicate it was a Mesaba Airlines Saab FOR Delta. Which is why I spent half of the afternoon on Flight Aware trying to find a Delta prefix. Special thanks to Simon Hradecky who always gets it right.
