Passenger Takes FREAKY Picture Of Plane’s Engine Mid-Flight

I wouldn’t call myself a frequent flyer, but I fly enough. It’s always at least a few times a year. I used to be petrified of flying, but as I got older, I realized it just wasn’t a realistic way to live. You can live in fear and never do ANYTHING, or you can trust God and live your life.

So yeah. I fly with minimal panic these days. Turbulence still freaks me out, but every time I feel a tad bit nervous, I look at a flight attendant and see if THEY looked freaked. If they’re chill, I’m chill. I mean, they do this for a living. They knows what feels weird and what doesn’t.

HOWEVER. If I saw this outside of my window, I would be FREAKING out, even if my flight attendant was as cool as a cucumber.

WHOA! My aunt snapped this pic of a shredded engine on Frontier flight 260 from Vegas to Tampa. The plane was able to turn around and land. She says all passengers got a free breakfast voucher. pic.twitter.com/vc4t4uxMmh

How scary is that? For crying out loud, people were calling their loved ones.

The good news? Frontier claims the engine never stopped working. THANK GOD.

.@FlyFrontier says, “During takeoff on Frontier flight 260 from Las Vegas to Tampa this morning, a section of an engine cover called a cowling came loose and separated from the aircraft. Our pilots followed procedure and immediately returned to the airport. (1/3) @8NewsNow

According to Frontier spokesperson Allison Redmon, passengers were given a refund in addition to a $500 voucher.

I’d say that’s a sufficient response.

Thank goodness everything ended well.
