Investigators were scouring Chicago's O'Hare International Airport on Saturday after an engine caught fire on an American Airlines plane attempting to take off on Friday, as a source said
a detached engine part had hit a nearby building, something the design should have prevented.
No serious injuries were reported in the incident, which crippled a Boeing 767 with 161 passengers and nine crew members aboard as it was departing for Miami and briefly closed all O'Hare's runways.
The failure was so intense that a disk from the engine hit a building roof, according to a person familiar with the matter.
