An Alaska Airlines flight heading to San Diego was forced to return to Sea-Tac Airport after parts of an engine cowling detached.
The issue began just minutes after take-off with an ‘unusual vibration,’ the captain told passengers.
Further pieces of the cowling fell off as the plane was landing.
The Boeing 737 was taken out of service for a full safety inspection.
