United 757-200 returns to Newfoundland

(16 July) - "A United Airlines spokesman in London said today: United flight 130 from Washington Dulles to London Heathrow diverted to St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada.

'There was a mechanical problem with an engine, and out of an abundance of caution, the pilot elected to divert the plane.

'The Boeing 757-200 carrying 50 passengers and 9 crew members landed safely and without incident."


So says the Daily Wail today.

Any professional input available out there? Such as........ as SLF, - would be nice to know what type of "engine failure."
