Southwest corrects the earlier news reports of an engine failure at MCO :

Southwest Airlines said the plane returned to the airport after pilots reported a "performance issue'' with one of the engines.

If you've ever taken a plane into or out of maintenance at an airline hub you can see why they went back to the gate, not the hangar. The contract ground transportation company and crew skeds always seem to get lost trying to find the right address for the hangar at a large airport. I've had a mechanic take us over to the terminal in the pickup truck after waiting a while for a ride that didn't come.
