[777] loses cowling on departure from DEN
Breaking on the news.
Pictures show engine cowling pieces on the ground. No one hurt.
Mike Boyd commented that there is no better airline MX than United on the news.
Edit: It now sounds like it was a 777 engine cowling.

Yep. Put her on the ground. MX is going to have the bird for a minute anyway,overweight landing inspection is least of their concerns.
