Overview

• Flight DE3665, a Boeing 757-300 from Corfu to Düsseldorf, landed in Brindisi at 8:15 p.m. local time about 40 minutes after departure.
• Bright flashes appeared near the right engine and the crew shut it down in a controlled manner before diverting on one engine.
• The airline says it cannot confirm an engine fire and describes a combustion-chamber reaction that became visible near the rear of the engine.
• All 273 passengers and eight crew were uninjured; limited hotel capacity left some sleeping at the airport before a replacement aircraft completed the trip on Aug. 17.
• Videos of the event spread widely online as reports varied on whether the flashes occurred shortly after takeoff or at higher altitude; the aircraft remains under technical inspection and an investigation is underway.
