Engine troubles right after take off, says passenger

A passenger aboard the flight that took off from Charlotte claimed that the aircraft was facing engine troubles right after it took off and the passengers were transferred to another flight later on. The passenger also said that they were relieved that the plane made the emergency landing at the international airport in Jackson since there could have been another possible crash if the plane went ahead towards its destination.
