A Delta Airlines McDonnell Douglas MD-88, registration N941DL performing flight DL-2091 from Atlanta,GA to Tampa,FL (USA), was in the initial climb out of Atlanta's runway 09L when the crew declared emergency reporting the left hand engine (JT8D) failure. The crew stopped the climb at about 2000 feet, were instructed to turn right for a downwind and were cleared to land on Atlanta's runway 10. The aircraft landed safely about 15 minutes after departure.

A runway inspection found debris on runway 09L advising ATC the runway would be closed for a while, there was debris everywhere about 2 thirds down the runway.

A replacement MD-88 registration N978DL reached Tampa with a delay of about 2 hours.
