Quote Plane with failed engine makes emergency landing in St Petersburg, 78 onboard A Boeing 737 plane has made an emergency landing in St Petersburg due to an engine failure. The UTair plane was carrying 78 passengers and an unspecified number of crewmembers. Utair has confirmed that its plane, Flight UT369, flying from Moscow to St Petersburg, made an emergency landing at the city's Pulkovo airport. The plane made the emergency landing "after the transmitter went off, signaling the right engine’s failure,” a source told RIA Novosti news agency. The jet landed at about 12:35 pm Moscow time (9:35 am GMT).

It could be a traumatic experience considering the alternatives to a safe landing.

It could be a traumatic experience considering the alternatives to a safe landing. Luckily, having an engine fail is still one of the safest things that can happen on an airplane. All modern jets can fly with one or more engines shut down.
