A United Boeing 777-200, registration N796UA performing flight
UA-7 from San Francisco,CA (USA) to Beijing (China), was climbing through FL280 out of San Francisco when the crew stopped the climb due to the right hand engine (PW4090) emitting loud noises and suffering severe vibrations. The crew shut the engine down and returned to San Francisco for a safe landing on runway 28R about 90 minutes after departure.
The aircraft is still on the ground in San Francisco about 48 hours after landing.
