FAA to Probe Loss of Engine Cover on Southwest Airlines Boeing Jet

The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating an incident in which an engine cover fell off a Southwest Airlines -flown Boeing 737-800 jet during takeoff from Denver on Sunday.

The FAA said Flight 3695, which was headed for Houston, returned safely to Denver International Airport around 8:15 a.m. after its crew reported that an engine cover fell off during takeoff and struck a wing flap.

The aircraft was towed to the gate upon landing, the FAA said.

Southwest said maintenance teams were reviewing the aircraft and apologized for the delay. The passengers were moved to another aircraft.

Should airlines be required to compensate passengers for emotional distress in incidents like these, even if nobody is physically harmed?

Imagine you were a passenger on that flight; what would be your immediate reaction to noticing part of the engine falling off?

How would you feel about flying if airplane malfunctions like losing an engine cover were more common, and why?
