A commercial airliner landed safely Sunday morning in Colorado after its engine gave out during the flight, causing an emergency landing.
The United Airlines flight 321 was en route, flying from Denver to Los Angeles, when the plane's right engine shut down due to low oil pressure, reported NBC News.
The plane was forced to land at the Grand Junction Regional Airport, reported the San Diego Source.
The plane was carrying 125 passengers and crew, and landed safely around 11:44 a.m., according to Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor.
Jim Schreckengast, a passenger aboard flight 321, said that after the pilot announced the emergency over the public address speakers, passengers remained calm. None of the passengers appeared to be afraid, he noted.
