Cynthia Pugh, 61, and Kelli Dennis,60, both of Raymore, MO, were seated on UA Flight 328, a Boeing 777-222, that was en route to Honolulu when four minutes after takeoff the right engine failed and was engulfed in flames. Pilots were forced to turn back to Denver as passengers witnessed the plane’s engine on fire on the right side of the wing and engine debris falling to the ground. A loud bang could be heard on the plane’s cockpit voice recorder that was later recovered. Pilots were able to land the plane with one engine 24 minutes later.

A couple from Denver, Colorado, Frances, age 68, and Robert, 70, Brown, who were sitting on the right side of the plane began taping the engine on fire on their cell phone. They, along with multiple other passengers, suffer from significant trauma and distress as a result of the incident that they thought would be their last moments of life.

Clifford Law Offices also has filed individual lawsuits on behalf of a couple from King of Prussia, Pennsylvania; a man from Woodstock, Maryland, outside of Baltimore; a man from Idaho and a passenger from Hawaii.

The civil lawsuits seek monetary compensation in the Circuit Court of Cook County for personal, pecuniary and emotional damages as a direct result of the emotional trauma passengers experienced on that flight.

“This incident should not have happened from the start,” said Robert A. Clifford, founder and senior partner at Clifford Law Offices in Chicago, an internationally renowned aviation firm. He is lead counsel in the consolidated litigation involving a Boeing 737 MAX airliner that crashed in Ethiopia two years ago killing all 157 onboard. He represents the families of 72 of those victims. “Maintenance and inspection protocols should be in place that would prevent this type of horror from happening in the first place. These lawsuits will get to the bottom of what happened here so that these passengers can try to find some peace of mind as they attempt to continue with their lives.”

Video taken by the Colorado couple while on board showed the engine fully engulfed in flames as the plane flew with 239 people on board. Pieces of the aircraft were discovered on the ground below, including debris that had crashed through a home and other pieces that had narrowly missed a half-dozen teams at soccer practice on a nearby field.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is conducting an investigation into the incident.

UA Flight 328 Boeing 777-200 was en route to Honolulu when four minutes after takeoff an explosion occurred, and the right engine was engulfed in flames. Pilots were forced to turn back to Denver as passengers witnessed the plane on fire on the right side of the wing and the engine reportedly was missing. A loud bang could be heard on the plane’s cockpit voice recorder that was later recovered.

Pilots were able to land the plane with one engine and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has since reported it is investigating other planes with similar engines to see if the defect is widespread. The flight time of terror was 24 minutes before the plane touched the ground.

The civil lawsuits that allege at least $50,000 in damages in the Circuit Court of Cook County allege significant trauma and distress suffered on behalf of two passengers who live in Hawaii. The complaints are attached here, here, here, and here.

“The passengers on this flight thought it was going to be their last,” said Robert A. Clifford, founder and senior partner at Clifford Law Offices in Chicago, an internationally-renown aviation firm. He is lead counsel in the crash of a Boeing 737 MAX airliner that crashed in Ethiopia two years ago killing all 239 on board. He represents the families of 72 of those victims. “Imagine as a passenger looking out the window of a plane and helplessly watching the engine on fire. The terror you experience lasts a lifetime.”

Video posted on Twitter from the emergency showed the engine fully engulfed in flames as the plane flew. Pieces of the aircraft were discovered on the ground below, including debris crashing through a home and narrowly missing a half-dozen teams at soccer practice on a nearby field.

Two hundred forty people were aboard that flight and many later reported they were praying the entire way back to the airport, hoping they would still see their children again. Several have contacted Clifford Law Offices in light of the significant trauma they experienced and to ensure that they get answers as to what happened in this incident.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is conducting an investigation into the incident that can take up to a year or more to conclude.
