A Japan Airlines Boeing 777-200 suffered loss of fan blades in engine 1 shortly after takeoff from Okinawa-Naha Airport. The Boeing 777 with registration JA8978, was performing flight JL-904 from Okinawa to Tokyo Haneda with 178 passengers and 11 crew on board. After the aircraft suffered left-hand engine failure prompting large noise, the crew decided to stop the climb at 19,000 feet and return to Naha airport. Since business class in Japan Airlines Boeing 777-200 has 1-2-1 layout, seating separately was the only option. Bunky was hesitant at first, but between amazing window views, and tons of kid-friendly entertainment options, she forgot about my existence within the first ten minutes of the flight.
