Both planes landed safely, but the five passengers on the Delta flight were injured during the evacuation. United Airlines won't confirm whether the incident rendered the engine operable, but images of the engine after landing in Hawaii along with passenger statements of severe vibrations would indicate it was likely shut down by the flight crew. Later on Tuesday, a Delta Air Lines Airbus A330 made an emergency landing shortly after taking off from Lagos, Nigeria due to a problem with one of its engines.
