A Japan Airlines DC-10 bound for Bangkok returned to Nagoya airport Wednesday morning due to engine trouble that caused debris to fall on houses and factories in the nearby city of Komaki, Aichi Prefecture, airport officials and police said.
No injuries were reported on the ground or from the roughly 200 people on board Flight 737, police said.
They said they have received reports that 20 to 30 small pieces of debris fell to the ground after a loud bang was heard overhead.
Some of the debris fell onto several cars at a gas station, breaking windshields and causing other damage, they said.
