"Engine explodes on charter plane, forcing flight to turn back to Miami

An engine exploded on a Swiss charter airline Sunday morning shortly after
it took off from Miami International Airport with 175 people aboard.

Edelweiss Air Flight No. 565 en route to Zurich returned to the airport and
no injuries were reported, said Lauren Peduzzi, spokeswoman for the National
Transportation Security Board, which is investigating the incident.

However, the explosion of the Rolls-Royce engine damaged the Airbus A330's
wing, and pieces of the engine could have penetrated the passenger cabin. "
