On October 15, 1998, Delta Air Lines flight 915, a McDonnell Douglas MD-88, N902DE, experienced an uncontained failure in the No. 2 (right) engine, a Pratt & Whitney (P&W) JT8D-219, immediately after takeoff from Logan International Airport, Boston, Massachusetts. The pilots reported that, just after takeoff they felt a light thump, the airplane yawed to the right, and the cockpit instrumentation indicated that the No. 2 engine had lost power. The pilots then declared an emergency and returned to Boston. None of the 128 passengers, 4 flight attendants, and 2 pilots on board were injured. The airplane was operating on an instrument flight rules flight plan under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 121 as a regularly scheduled passenger flight from Boston to Atlanta, Georgia.
