The United Airlines flight, Honolulu-bound with more than 200 passengers, returned to Denver International Airport shortly after takeoff Saturday afternoon following an engine failure, strewing debris at least a mile wide in yards and a park where children play, authorities said. But miraculously, officials said, not a single injury has been reported, and Flight 328 made it back safely to the airport. Other hunks of the engine wound up on the turf field at Commons Park in Broomfield. “I grabbed my wife’s hand and said, ‘We’re done.’ ”Delucia told the newspaper that a fellow passenger took the viral video posted on Twitter by his stepdaughter. It took nearly half an hour to get back to the airport, Delucia said, full of “the worst turbulence you can imagine.”“What a crazy friggin’ experience,” Delucia told the Denver Post from the airport later.
