A Boeing jet has scattered debris over a residential area near Denver after one of its engines failed on take-off, reported British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).

The Boeing 777, with 231 passengers and 10 crew on board, was able to return safely and land at Denver airport. No injuries were reported, said the report.

Police in the town of Broomfield posted pictures of what appears to be the front of an engine casing in the front garden of a home.

Passengers on board described a "large explosion" shortly after take-off, said BBC.

Flight 328, a United Airlines plane bound for Honolulu, suffered a failure in its right-hand engine, said the report, quoting the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
