A Delta plane bound for London was forced to return to Atlanta due to smoke emitting from one of its engines.
It came just a day after an engine exploded mid-flight on a Southwest Airlines Boeing 737, killing one passenger.
The Delta jet made an emergency landing at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport not long after departing and was carrying 274 passengers and 14 crew members
It landed safely and all onboard deplaned normally.
Crew members were praised for their calmness although one passenger described some hairy moments before it finally landed.
"The plane went on a few dips like on a roller coaster and side to side, I thought it was turbulence. "There was no smoke inside but when people by the window seats lifted their blinds that’s when we saw the smoke…the film Final Destination came to my mind," said Karla Cantre Bumanglag.
"Flight attendants handled it calmly. We were scared especially what happened the day before with Southwest," she said.
In a statement the airline said: "Delta flight 30 from Atlanta to London returned to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on Wednesday after an issue with its number 2 engine. The flight landed without incident and airport response vehicles met the aircraft upon arrival. The airplane was towed to the gate, where customers deplaned through the jetway and will be accommodated on a different aircraft."
