The Kalitta Air jet took off from O'Hare International Airport in Chicago
late Wednesday. It later reported mechanical problems in one of Its

engines,
a Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman in Chicago said.
The Boeing 747 was able to fly, but was diverted as a safety precaution to
Detroit, where it landed without incident, FAA officials said. No one was
injured.
After the landing, airline personnel discovered the engine was completely
gone, FAA officials said.
Michigan authorities searched Thursday for the engine, which may have

fallen
into Lake Michigan, the FAA said. The FAA will Investigate the incident,

but
the results of an investigation could take weeks.



That sure brings back memories...
