Australian Qantas Airways plane 'bangs' in engine shortly after takeoff...an emergency landing

A Qantas Airlines flight that took off from Sydney Airport in Australia caused an emergency landing in 20 minutes due to an engine failure.

At around 12.30pm local time yesterday, shortly after the Qantas Airlines flight took off from Sydney Airport, there was a 'bang' sound from the right engine and the fuselage shook loudly.

The plane, which had a problem with its engine, made an emergency landing at the airport after circling over Sydney for 20 minutes.

When the plane made an emergency landing, a fire broke out on the runway lawn, but no connection to the accident was confirmed.

Sydney Airport operations were also disrupted at one point.

The plane in question is a 19-year-old Boeing 737-800 aircraft with an engine manufactured by a joint venture between General Electric of the United States and Safran of France.
