United Airlines’ flight operating from Rome to Newark diverts to Shannon, Ireland, after an engine-related problem, according to multiple reports. Both outlets say the diversion occurs due to an issue with one of the aircraft’s engines. Passengers describe a visible defect on the engine during the incident. PerthNow and The West Australian both quote a passenger account describing a hole in the engine “the size of a bowling ball.” The reporting indicates the flight does not continue to its planned destination after the problem is identified and instead lands in Shannon for handling of the situation. Details beyond the reported engine issue and passenger description are not included in the supplied summaries, and the accounts do not specify the final cause, whether the aircraft can fly on after the landing, or the number of passengers and crew affected. The reports focus on the diversion and the engine damage description provided by a passenger.
