They let that 767 take back off after I told them it was unsafe!

Now, I think it is established that I am a Delta hater... but really, if an airline shut down an aircraft any time a passenger says so, they would hardly fly at all. I think you may have to high a regard for your own "opinion".
On the other hand, I am beginning to wonder if Delta has some kind of dispute with it's maintenance engineers...

A Delta Airlines Boeing 767-400, registration N843MH performing flight DL-94 from New York JFK,NY (USA) to Barcelona,SP (Spain) with 210 passengers, was climbing out of JFK's runway 22R when the crew indicated they needed to return to the airport due to the engine (CF6) problems. The airplane levelled off at FL190 and returned to JFK for a safe landing on runway 22R about 100 minutes after takeoff. The crew stopped on an adjacent taxiway requesting emergency services to inspect the engines and brakes as well as look for any fluid or damage at the underside of the aircraft. On request by emergency services the crew started the APU and shut both engines down on the taxiway.
The same day two more Boeing 767-400s suffered technical problems before departure within 6 hours: DL-164 JFK to Dublin (Ireland) and DL-72 JFL to Istanbul (Turkey).
Delta Airlines confirmed, the returning aircraft experienced engine problems, another aircraft suffered a faulty indication and a "maintenance issue".

3 Flights in 1 day!! That is very unusual... and all on the same aircraft type and from the same airport. Something smells fishy, or the co-incidence fairy has been busy.
