Engine problem forces jet to return to Shannon
From http://www.rte.ie/news/2005/0520/shannonairport.html
A transatlantic jet has been forced to return to Shannon Airport after the pilot reported a problem with one of the aircraft's engines.
The Continental Airlines flight was just 20 minutes into its journey to Newark when it was forced to declare an emergency.
The 163 passengers who were on board the aircraft touched down safely just after 12pm this afternoon.
A spokesperson for Shannon Airport said an inspection of the aircraft has been carried out and the engine will have to be replaced.
