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.

The aircraft made a safe landing some 35 minutes after departure. The aircraft stopped on the runway and was towed to its parking stand.
