Info from Licensor: "Shortly after we reached 10,000 feet on our flight from Denver to Honolulu, we heard a loud 'boom' and the plane jolted forward. My husband immediately opened his window shade and saw the engine was damaged. We eventually saw flames and smoke on the engine. The pilots made an announcement that we had damage to an engine and would be returning to Denver. It probably took about 20 minutes or so to land safely back at Denver International Airport."
