Boeing Cargo Plane Makes Emergency Landing in Miami Due to Engine Malfunction

FAA Finds 'Softball-Sized Hole' in Engine, Launches Investigation Alongside National Transportation Safety Board

An Atlas Air Boeing 747 cargo plane was forced to make an emergency landing at Miami International Airport after experiencing an engine malfunction shortly after departure.
The Federal Aviation Administration found out in a preliminary report that there was a 'softball-sized hole' above one of the engines on the cargo plane, which could have resulted in the fire.
The Boeing 747 cargo plane departed from Miami International Airport Thursday night and was on its way to Luis Muñoz Marin International Airport in Puerto Rico.
The Federal Aviation Administration is already investigating Boeing after an Alaska Airlines flight was forced to make an emergency landing when a door plug fell off the fuselage midair this month.
The National Transportation Safety Board has also opened an investigation into the incident and it gave a statement on Friday saying the organization is 'collecting information to evaluate and determine' the scope of the probe.
