What: Continental owned 757 being delivered to Hong Kong for maintenance
Where: Guam International Airport
When: Jan 17, 2010
Who: 4 crew
Why: Shortly after takeoff, the plane made a noise like a backfire and the left engine failed. The plane was witnessed to fly over Barrigada, bank north over Tumon, fly out over the Philippine Sea before returning to the airport to make a safe landing.
Continental seems to be planning to use the 757 in an upcoming regular route to Hong Kong.
One wonders if the 757 is not a Hong Kong regular, why 757 maintenance is being ferried there.
Airport firefighters responded at 7 am.
