Default Southwest suffers "mechanical failure" inflight

Well that is one way of describing the end result, at least they didn't say minor:

NEW ORLEANS -
A Southwest Airlines flight that left Louis Armstrong International Airport Saturday morning was diverted to Pensacola, Florida, when one of its engines began having mechanical issues mid-flight.

The incident was reported before 10 a.m. after the plane left the New Orleans airport for its scheduled flight to Orlando, Florida.

A spokesperson for Southwest said Flight #3472 made the decision to divert to Pensacola because of a mechanical issue with one of its engines. The plane landed safely around 9:40 a.m. at Pensacola International Airport.

Officials said there were no injuries among the 99 passengers and five crew members who were on the plane. The passengers will be transferred to another plane.

Came across the ATC recording from this incident, which includes some of the checklists that were accidentally transmitted - the youtuber has also displayed the checklists which is interesting.
