BREAKING NEWS: United Flight 35 lands after tire falls off!

[@CaptainJNT]

This is why I love planespotters, always there to tell the story. Great job @L.A FLIGHTS❤❤❤.

[@explorenaked]

Peter couldn't have said it better. "Pretty uneventful". This is one of the reasons they have multiple wheels and tires. Redundancy is good.

[@rdbchase]

It is blatantly incompetent reporting -- a wheel fell off that plane, not just a tire!

[@2and4the1]

@@rdbchase 9:15 You can clearly hear 'the wheel is missing'. Blatantly incompetent criticism. LOL Great reporting Peter.

[@pixiedustgirl13]

Nice work, Peter!!!

[@rdbchase]

Terrible work -- anyone who cannot distinguish a wheel from a tire has no business trying to communicate about aviation or anything else!

[@tedmitchell226]

United is a woke airline with DEI, so the quality of people working on these planes is NOT TOP NOTCH !!! So I personally won't fly with them

[@SpinsterSister]

Great landing - wonderful pilots/crew. Thanks for the great footage/commentary!

Fabulous footage. 👍🛩❤️ Thank you for sharing.

Outstanding camera work! Than you LA Flights

[@jsl151850b]

With the gear down the extra drag uses up more fuel without having to dump fuel. Also.... no chance for the gear to jam.

[@laxnative4622]

It appeared though that they retracted the gear right after departing SFO. Also, a replay of the ATC indicated the pilots had no indication in the cockpit that there was a problem. They found out from ATC.

Thanks Peter and Josh for the awesome coverage of UA 35.🤙🏾🤙🏾

[@mxcollin95]

Looks like a problem with a missing left back inside wheel to me.

[@Dirk-van-den-Berg]

The missing wheel was already 'visible' during the approach. The left side of the landinggear had the last wheel of the set missing.

[@patriciariley9770]

Thank God they are safe

[@lisaa8795]

Great footage especially around the 6 min mark, you can see very clearly which wheel is missing. Looked like a normal landing. Good job everybody.

[@Coningsbyman]

Just subscribed to your channel so glad everything is okay thanks for the footage it was brilliant all the best from Lincolnshire England cheers

[@vidalpaulino1328]

Landing in LA makes sense due to facilities. However, looks like the wheel or something from inside the wheel well led to wheel falling off. Could have been midair tire explosion or similar.

[@Rennsen1]

Tire fell off during take-off at SFO. The crew was notified by the tower after another carrier called in the observation of a tire falling off.

[@julesgamingnstuff]

Read this in the news, knew this channel would have it!

[@JeremiahMuchangi]

The effort of maintenance guys doing videos with one hand on the camera is surely bearing fruits.

[@tonyhadec9476]

Good that the brake remained because it did not damage the hydraulic system.

[@roman_rwel]

Awesome Peter!! I was always wondering, how can you stay there for so many hours without using the bathroom😱😂

[@tracyparks533]

Thank you for the coverage that was cool to watch. Unless you’re a pilot or former pilot of a triple 7 loaded with people and fuel might I suggest if you can’t say something positive don’t say anything at all. I also appreciated the footage of the emergency response teams, who still proudly fly the American flag

[@chuckthebrindlepittie6820]

🤡

[@paulcostello9778]

I would think that the NTSB might be interested in your clip. It’s too bad the freighters were in the way. Keep up with your wonderful work!

[@engineeringoyster6243]

A better description of what happened is that or wheel fell off, not just a tire.

[@Zepfancouver]

Was the reason for landing at LAX and not SFO to burn off fuel and even more fuel with reels down ? And is there a protocol or threshold for the necessity of fuel dumping ?

[@get2dachoppa249]

When the maximum landing weight of the aircraft is greater than the max take off weight, then you have to either dump or burn off fuel to get down to max landing weight.

[@JayWood305]

Crazy wish I saw this live

I don't think they held at SFO, just flew to LAX. As far as they knew everything was fine but ground people reported the lost wheel.

[@gcorriveau6864]

Happily, no one on the ground in SFO was injured.

[@fredhinck9685]

Did they have to dump fuel to get down to landing weight ??????????

[@prestonautic772er]

United had 4 incidents this week already. 757 engine failure, 737 engine catching fire, 777 gear tire loss, and now MAX gear collapse. This is such a terrible week for United.😰

[@whittybeeRN]

Wow! So cool you guys caught this. I presume they don’t retract the landing gear because they can’t know the extent of the damage to the gear and don’t want to potentially damage the wheel wells/ body of the aircraft? Someone will correct me, I’m sure!

[@slimcourage901]

The tire fell off during the initial retraction after takeoff from SFO. Idk when the wheels were re-extended.

[@julioguerreroalvarado9810]

If you look closely there is a red streamer hanging from the same landing gear. This streamer is attached to LANDING GEAR PINS which are used when maintenance is being done. If the those landing gear pins are left installed the gear will not be able to retract. This sounds like a maintenance error.

[@minarii8964]

@@julioguerreroalvarado9810 Pushback crew would've seen that main landing gear flag on their final walkaround before pushing. I would say the tow crew getting that plane out of the runway placed the gear pins for safety while towing. But yeah you are probably right about maintenance error on the wheel install.

[@julioguerreroalvarado9810]

@@minarii8964 no idea on what United’s policy on pushback is . Some airlines require pins for tow some don’t. Many variables are involved here

[@blaircorporatedary365]

It makes no sense that this channel is so interesting, but it is. Well done LA Flights.

[@jamesz4349]

No, the crew did retract the landing gears after the plane took off at SFO. Oh BTW, the wheel that fell of was one of the steering wheels at the left main landing gear

Excelente trabajo 👏

[@laxnative4622]

Do we know who decided to divert to LAX and why? (Guessing United made the call?) I know both LAX and SFO are United hubs and have maintenance. Both have long runways, with LAX slightly longest. Was it to burn off fuel? I know they had to close the runway at SFO for a short time to inspect the runway. Any thought to replacement aircraft and/or flight crews for passengers to continue to Japan. Just curious.

[@cyclon3830]

curious to know what happened with the missing wheel, where it fell and hope no injures to anyone

[@510ghostboy]

why would it fly all the way to LA when it could’ve just turned around and landed at any of the 3 airports in the bay?

[@LMays-cu2hp]

Thank you for sharing.😊

[@ralphe5842]

No the atc had to tell them the wheel was missing the flight was cleared to 28000 ft until someone reported the wheel falling off

[@jesseg8920]

So one wheel falls off so let’s fly it over LA opposed to SFO that lands mostly over water?

This was not expected to land in Japan in 'just a few hours', the trip takes 14 hours. Which is why it had 5 tanker trucks full of fuel. Glad everyone was safe. Go Boeing!

[@alooga555]

I know the plane's fuel was topped off getting ready for the transpacific flight, but why did it not fly back to SFO?

SFO has a runway closed for construction.

Man, have some attention to detail! The wheel came off not just the tire, big difference.

[@danmacarthur8944]

What's going on? A United flight in Houston crashed on the runway in Houston, AND United going to Fort Myers, FL had engine in flames today. How does one airlines have 3 major issues in a single day that could have caused great damage and cost lives??

[@marcmcreynolds2827]

Clustering of random outcomes is a normal feature of statistics. If at the other extreme everything was equally spread out (e.g. a coin toss which unswervingly alternated between heads and tails) that would be the opposite of random: Deterministic.

[@danmacarthur8944]

@@marcmcreynolds2827 That's meaningless without the data set to determine frequency of outlier events accounting for stochasticity. What can't be ignored is it potentially led to the lost of hundreds of lives. These are companies that supposedly practice 6sigma quality standards which means there should be near zero defects in manufacturing and maintenance. Will it take people dying to wake people up to the egregious practices in the airline industry raising prices, cutting costs? My last flight stewardess on United looked like she was clearly over 220 lbs.

[@marcmcreynolds2827]

@@danmacarthur8944 Perhaps a more intuitive way for me to present the idea is to ask why it matters that three events happened in the space of one day? If it was instead one of them this week and two last week (or month), would that really alter whatever the safety situation is? A random cluster gets lay peoples' attention, but it's a change in the overall rate averaged over some period of time which matters in determining whether incidents are unconnected and within an expected frequency, or suggestive of non-random factors which merit attention. What we have in this case are 1) Pilots in Texas who were asked to expedite vacating of the runway and went a bit too fast for wet conditions in trying to please ATC (not a crash); 2) What appears to be a garden-variety compressor stall (not an engine fire as was widely reported); 3) A fairly rare but not not very serious wheel rim failure (not a big deal after wheel rim strength requirements were increased in the early 1980s). If I had been on that flight, knowing what I know as a landing gear engineer, I wouldn't have been the least bit worried for my safety. As long as there was no indication of hydraulic leakage, I would have even been fine with continuing on to Japan, at which point we would land with about twice as many tires as needed to do so safely. Despite the drama which most people may have felt was present, there is nothing at all nail-biting about a 777 landing on eleven tires.

[@non-tan_NAK-rider]

This trouble was covered in the news of Japanese TV broadcasts because the plane to KIX(Osaka) from SFO. The news picked a scene when this plane took off SFO and a tire fall in down the car parking area of SFO. It's unbelievable I felt. After that, the plane arrived at KIX in the midnight (Japan time) by alternative plane from LAX.

[@Ban00]

Imagine being on that flight. Scary times

[@trainsignal123]

OH GOD - love your channel and thank you- it is a great channel to tune into with no stress. I am so happy you got this footage because AIRLINES are very careful of what they let out. THE bottom line is the bottom line- I think airlines are taking shortcuts- NOW I could be wrong- but doesn't it make sense with a HORRIBLE economy, everything costing a bloody fortune, and who knows??? I have never heard of this happening before. BUT why NOW A lot of safety issues with planes. I also heard that United American and Delta have OLD planes- does anyone know how old this one was. Thank you so much for everything you do. And as always I will be giving the thumbs up.. PS cant wait when you go to NEW york, you always have the best seat.!!!
