Engine problem forces flight to return to KC

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - A United Airlines flight from Kansas City to Denver is forced to turn back soon after takeoff Sunday with engine problems.

The Kansas City Star reports that United flight 505 left Kansas City International Airport around 7 p.m., but had to turn back and land about a half hour later.

Airport spokesman Joe McBride says the Boeing 737 was carrying 133 passengers and crew members.

United spokeswoman Robin Urbanski says the captain shut down the engine after a "check compressor" light came on. Urbanski says turning off the engine caused a loud noise, but there was no emergency.
