Engine cover falls off plane during takeoff

Video shows the moment an engine cover on a Southwest Airlines Boeing 737-800 fell off on Sunday during takeoff in Denver and striking the wing flap, prompting the U.S. FAA to open an investigation.

No one was injured and Southwest Flight 3695 returned safely to Denver International Airport around 8:15 a.m. local time on Sunday and was towed to the gate after losing the engine cowling. #shorts
