Where: returned to New York’s Long Island MacArthur Airport
When: landed safely at 10:24 a.m
Who: 127 passengers aboard and 5 crew members
Why: The 737 experienced engine trouble which forced them to shut down the left hand engine; they returned to MacArthur Airport for a safe landing. Contrary to rumor, lightning did not cause an engine fire.

George’s Point of View

The addendum to this is that mechanics are now looking over this 737. Maybe they should have had this inspection before it took off. D’ya think?
