As if I wasn’t already terrified of flying… On Tuesday a flight from SFO to Honolulu lost parts of its engine midair. Passengers caught the metal covering flying off of the engine on video, too.

According to CBS, the engine cover came off about 36 minutes outside of the Honolulu airport. Everyone on board was okay, but probably at least a little rattled.

At least the plane made it mostly to Hawaii before the problems happened. Flying home would be pretty scary though.
