DEVELOPING: United Airlines Plane Makes Emergency Landing After Tire Falls Off During Takeoff, Damages Parked Cars
Another one!
This is what DEI looks like in action.
A United Airlines Boeing 777 plane was forced to make an emergency landing after it lost a tire during takeoff on Thursday afternoon.
The United plane was taking off from San Francisco when one of the six tires detached from the aircraft and damaged several cars in the parking lot. The flight was diverted to LAX where it safely landed.
The FAA is investigating the latest failure.
CBS News reported:
A United Airlines Boeing 777 plane has landed safely at LAX after losing a tire shortly after takeoff from San Francisco International Airport around 1:20 p.m. on Thursday.
United flight 35 was headed to Osaka, Japan with a total of 249 people on board.
SkyCAL was live over LAX when the plane touched down with no apparent issues. It taxied to a gate where passengers were let out. United said that a new plane will be dispatched to take passengers to their final destination.
In a statement, United Airlines said that the 777-200 has six tires on each of its two main landing gear struts and is designed to land safely with missing or damaged tires.
No injuries were reported and the cause of the wheel failure will be investigated by the FAA.

"Mistakes" like this should litigated heavily by the federal government, since this is one of the few instances where the federal government should be sticking its nose into companies.
This sort of thing is no joke, and examples need to be made.
I completely agree. Maintenance and servicing of aircraft, and especially passenger aircraft should be performed to the highest order, with no chances of mistakes such as in this instance of a wheel assembly detaching .
The FAA should treat instances like this very seriously, but it unfortunately appears to happen much more commonly than it should.
