Just heard a mention on the 11pm Philly news while lying in bed half asleep last night.....they said that shortly after takeoff, they reported hearing a pop come from one of the engines. Supposedly the engine lost oil pressure, so the flight was diverted to ABQ. They also mentioned that some people on the flight were some of the people being reaccomodated from the cancellations a few days ago.

Not sure if the US 321's have the CFM or IAE engines. But, if that's another V2500...2 this week...somebody's gonna feel the pain.
