Original Message FORT WORTH — About 130 people aboard an American Airlines flight got a sharp scare after one of the MD-80's two jet engines was disabled by shards from a broken window in the passengers' cabin.

American Airlines spokesman Tim Smith said the outside pane of the triple-pane window shattered about 20 minutes after the 7:35 p.m. take-off Sunday from Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport.

Smith said there was no pressure loss in the cabin and the plane could have flown safely on one engine, but the plane returned to D/FW and landed about 8:15 p.m.

None of the 127 passengers and five crew members aboard the D/FW-to-Fort Myers, Fla. flight were injured. Mr. Smith said the passengers departed on another flight about an hour after landing.
