An American Airlines Airbus A321-200, registration N997AA performing flight AA-765 from Philadelphia,PA to Phoenix Sky Harbour,AZ (USA), was enroute at FL320 about 150nm eastnortheast of St. Louis,MO (USA) when the right hand engine emitted a loud bang and streaks of flames prompting the crew to shut the engine down and divert to St. Louis, where the aircraft landed safely on runway 12R about 45 minutes later.

A replacement A321-200 registration N162UW reached Phoenix with a delay of about 11 hours.
