## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-23)  N37700, B737-800, WAS OPERATED BY DELTA AIRLINES AS FLIGHT 72 FROM SFO TO JFK.  DURING CRUISE THE PILOT HEARD A LOUD BANG, AND THE RIGHT ENGINE INSTRUMENTS INDICATED A LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE.  THE ENGINE LOST POWER AND AUTOMATICALLY SHUTDOWN.  THE CREW DIVERTED TO OMAHA, NE.  MAINTENANCE FOUND PIECES OF METAL BLADES IN THE TAILPIPE.  THE ENGINE WAS CHANGED BY DELTA MECHANICS.  PRELIMINARY FINDINGS SHOWED INTERNAL FAILURE OF THE ENGINE.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
