A Delta Airlines Boeing 757-200, registration N668DN performing continuation flight DL-534 from Tampa,FL to Atlanta,GA (USA) with 185 people on board, was climbing out of Tampa's runway 19R when the right hand engine (PW2037) emitted a number of bangs and streaks of flame, the crew immediately after becoming airborne declared Mayday reporting they had lost the right hand engine and requested to do a quick pattern back to the departure runway. Tower instructed another arrival on final approach to runway 19R to swing over to runway 19L, emergency services went into their stand by positions. The crew levelled off at 2000 feet - tower warned of a high antenna in the area - and returned to runway 19R for a safe landing about 8 minutes after departure, vacated the runway and stopped on the adjacent taxiway for an inspection by emergency services, the crew inquired whether any smoke was visible from the engine which emergency services responded to in the negative.

The flight had previously diverted to Tampa due to a sparking button in the cockpit, see Incident: Delta B752 near Tampa on Apr 28th 2013, sparking button in cockpit.

The flight was cancelled, the passengers were rebooked onto other flights.
