Occurred on April 23, 2023 / USA Info from Licensor: "When I got on my flight this morning, I didn’t expect any of this. I just got back from my cousin's wedding, looking forward to getting home, and tackling the new week. Instead, we were just about to take off when the plane started to vigorously shake and make a very loud humming noise, cutting in and out. Upon takeoff, it seemed like we had run into a problem. We weren’t sure if it was geese or something wrong with the runway. Once we got in the air, the loud engine noises didn’t stop for at least 5 minutes but felt like an eternity. I was genuinely scared for my life and legitimately thought I was going to die. When I was thinking the worst, the person next to me started bawling their eyes out. I then calmed myself down, grabbed her hand, and told her it was going to be OK. We have to have positive thoughts for positive actions. Before I could finish that sentence the flight attendant was holding her other hand, comforting her. Then the engine noise stopped and the captain said, 'This would be a good time to review your safety procedures one last time.' Then, just as quickly as it started, it was all over and we were back on the ground. Fire trucks and police cars surrounded the plane. We watched as firemen and airport personnel inspected the engine, which was covered in blood. I'm extremely happy with how well the crew and pilots handled the situation. It went as well as it could of, and I couldn't be happier for proper training and protocol utilization."
