#2 Migrants forced to rest overnight at Luis Muñoz Marin International and arrange alternative transportation.

No information available regarding lessee or final follow-on destinations or cargo. No one was available for comment from Atlas or the FAA, nor is anyone expected to be available.

Cargo configuration or PAX? No one knows.

#4 I would love to see the engine logs. Most airlines lease their engines, as I assume this airline does. I'm sure the FAA is at the engine leasers office right now telling them they are there to help....

#11 "he captain said the incident involved engine number two and it occurred 'on the climb out' of the airport. Officials later said that a 'softball sized' hole was found above the engine after it was examined upon landing." Odd shape for damage?
