Plane lands in Detroit after engine falls off - Associated Press. ROMULUS - A cargo plane landed safely at Detroit Metropolitan Airport early Thursday after losing an engine that may have landed in Lake Michigan. Federal Aviation Administration officials say a Kalitta Air LLC jet took off from O'Hare International Airport late Wednesday. It was bound for New York's Kennedy International Airport when it reported mechanical problems with one of its four engines when it was about 15 miles east of Battle Creek. The Boeing 747 was diverted to Detroit Metro in Romulus, where it landed without incident. No members of the five-person crew were injured. When the plane landed, flight officials discovered the engine not only was a mechanical loss but was physically gone, the FAA said. It was believed to have been lost over Lake Michigan, but law enforcement officials were searching the Battle Creek area as well. The National Transportation Safety Board was leading the investigation, and the FAA was lending support. Kalitta is based in Ypsilanti and offers worldwide air freight service.
