Domestic flight returns after engine cover falls off

A China Southern Airlines flight has safety returned and landed without an engine hood after it took off from Harbin, capital of northeastern Heilongjiang Province this morning, media reported.
One of the passengers, who was identified as "cigarette ash prince" on Weibo.com, said flight CZ3624 from Harbin to southern city of Guangzhou lost its engine hood on air and was forced to make a return voyage after hovering for two hours.
"After hearing a loud noise, the crew held an emergency meeting. The captain told us other plane parts working well and decided a crash landing. Finally we landed smoothly and passengers applauded," he said.
News portal Sina.com confirmed that the aircraft, which was said to be an Airbus A320, departed from Harbin Taiping Airport at 8:29am and safety returned at 9:52am.
China Southern Airlines haven't made any responses as of noon.
