CNN producer note

This iReporter was on board the plane itself: 'All of a sudden the next thing you know the captain shuts off the power. I was seat 30E and you could see that the engine was smoking. So immediately the captain rang up the stewardess and immediately she turned on the emergency exit, and we started exiting on the left side of the plane.'
- hhanks, CNN iReport producer
