Boeing calls for grounding of some 777s after Denver engine failureWASHINGTON-Agence France-PresseBoeing called for the grounding of 128 of its 777 planes around the world on Feb. 21 as U.S. regulators investigated a United Airlines flight whose engine caught fire and fell apart over a suburban American city. United said it had voluntarily removed 24 Boeing 777 planes from service and expected "only a small number of customers to be inconvenienced." Officials from the FAA were meeting with Pratt & Whitney and Boeing representatives on Sunday evening, he added. Flight UA328 had been headed from Denver to Honolulu when it experienced an engine failure shortly after departure. But the engine failure marks a fresh blow for Boeing after several high-profile aviation accidents.
