Yesterday a United Airlines flight made an emergency landing in Honolulu when one of the plane's engines blew, losing parts and debris as the flight crew scrambled to land safely.
The horrified passengers documented the experience and shared images and video after landing.

45 minutes of the flight remained when the incident occurred, causing the pilot to cut the trip short.
