"immediately at or after becoming airborne the left hand engine (CFM56) emitted a huge bang and streaks of flame prompting tower to advise the crew, tower had seen flames from the left hand engine, but everything looked normal again. The crew advised that they had an engine stall, the engine was running normal again, no fire indication. The airport initiated a runway inspection, which did not find any debris on the runway. The crew initially continued departure but stopped the climb at FL140 advising they weren't sure about continuing the flight and entered a hold to burn off fuel and return to Zurich."

And another problem on top: "...According to local information Daytona Beach Airport has no tools available needed to unload an A332, therefore the luggage can not be transferred from the occurrence aircraft to the replacement aircraft. In addition, this weekend is the Daytona 500 race, therefore no accomodation is available in the area... Passengers were told that the occurrence aircraft is going to be repaired, then is going to carry the luggage to Cancun. The luggage can not be transferred to the replacement aircraft due to lack of needed ground support. Initially the passengers were told their entry to the USA was denied and they therefore could not be taken to hotels. A replacement aircraft would arrive in the course of the night at about 01:00L, however, the flight (AA-9460) was delayed..."
