A spokesman for the National Transportation Safety Board says maintenance records show that one of the engine compressors stalled on January 13th, interrupting the flow of air into the engine. The plane had a different pilot that day.

The problem did not, however, interrupt the flight.

Passengers on the earlier flight told CNN they heard loud bangs followed by an announcement that the plane was returning to LaGuardia Airport. A second announcement reported that the problems were resolved and the plane continued on to Charlotte.

Investigators are planning to question the pilot who was at the helm about the incident.

Meanwhile, U.S. Airways has sent $5,000 checks to passengers of Flight 1549 to compensate them for lost luggage. They also sent a check to passengers for the price of their plane tickets.

The airline told passengers their belongings could be stuck with investigators for months.

The plane is currently in a salvage yard in New Jersey.

The NTSB says it's being disassembled before being shipped to an undisclosed location for closer examination.

Investigators still need to locate the plane's missing left engine. Ice chunks in the Hudson have delayed recovery efforts.
