WATCH: Video Shows Plane’s Damaged Engine Before Emergency Landing

A Delta Air Lines flight was forced to make an emergency landing in North Carolina after a piece of the plane’s engine came loose and was filmed rattling around inside.

According to ABCNews.com, Delta Flight 1425 departed from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport at around 12:48 p.m. local time Monday en route to Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport when the indent occurred.

About an hour into the flight, passengers reported hearing a loud explosion that caused smoke to start entering the cabin. Twitter user Logan Webb shared a video from inside the plane of the damaged engine:
