A United Airlines flight bound for Tokyo was forced to return to Dulles International Airport in northern Virginia on Saturday after one of its engine’s lost power.

United flight 803, which had 275 passengers and 15 crew members onboard, left Dulles for Tokyo’s Haneda Airport at around 12:30 p.m. Shortly after takeoff, one of the Boeing jet’s engine’s failed and the plane circled in the air for over an hour until it safely returned to the airport.
