FAA investigates Southwest engines problem

Two Southwest Airlines aircraft were evacuated last week at Chicago Midway International Airport. Although there were no injuries in either incident, the FAA is looking into both cases, in which Southwest reported issues with an engine, an FAA spokeswoman said.

Unconfirmed reports stated that smoke was seen coming out of the right hand engine. Southwest Flight 3299
