Southwest emergency in PHL

[exchexflyer]

I might have my facts all wrong since information gets distorted from person to person. Here is my question, was there a Southwest plane that lost all their instruments on the east coast yesterday (1/15)? The info I have is that they didn't know where they were and they were requesting a chase plane to guide them to the ground. Like I said, the facts here are probably wrong, but was there an incident similar to this?

Plane Makes Emergency Landing in Philly
PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- A US Airways plane was forced to shut down one of its two engines and make an emergency landing at Philadelphia International Airport on Sunday, authorities said.

Flight 4455, a twin-engine turboprop, declared an emergency about 20 minutes after taking off from the Philadelphia airport bound for Baltimore-Washington International Airport, US Airways spokesman Carlo Bertolini said.
"One of the engines was shut down," he said.

The plane, carrying 48 passengers and three crew members, returned to Philadelphia, landed at about 4:50 p.m. and was towed to the gate, Bertolini said. No one was injured, Bertolini and airport spokesman Mark Pesce said

How do you know Chase was out flying yesterday? Our FOM states that "if required ask for a chase plane and land ASAP" - looks as if they did it by the book to me

It was a PDT Dash8-300 that lost an engine shortly after takeoff and returned to the field. It made the PHL news because there was a DCA or SBY news crew onboard.
