(CNN)A Southwest Airlines flight from New Orleans to Orlando was forced to make an emergency landing when one of the engines failed, the airline said.
A woman who was on the plane with her husband and three children told CNN affiliate KOCO that the engine was right outside her window.
"It was just a big explosion. There was some smoke and then nothing," she told the Oklahoma City station . "I saw parts flapping in the wind."
The plane started shaking and breathing masks were deployed as the airliner descended.
The woman said that once the plane seemed to stabilize, one of the pilots came into the cabin and told the passengers that the engine was lost.
The FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board are among the agencies investigating the incident.
According to the FAA, the airliner involved is a Boeing 737, which has two turbofan engines, one on each wing.
