No less than 3 pilots and 2 witnesses reported this via email at the second it was happening. I started editing the video while UAL1001 was still enroute to Denver. It still surprises me how awesome this community we all have built is. Thank you. More information to be updated as it releases from official sources. EDIT: By the way this is the second video I publish today.

Re: The pilot asking to know which tire it was... We once had a tire tire fail during the takeoff. Within 10 minutes our maintenance department found enough of the serial number on the debris and let us know exactly which location on the plane it was from. I was impressed. The value of proper maintenance records!

[@real_dddf]

I'm assuming a nose tire would be more problematic, but the rear wheel you have like fifty redundant tires so wouldn't be any issue at all.

[@vagirl19]

⁠@@real_dddfthe pilot was asking what tire was missing so he would know how the landing needed to go. If the nose gear is missing he’s gonna land on the belly of the plane, if either of the rear wheels are missing it will pull to the opposite side and he has to compensate for that. He doesn’t care about a replacement until he gets back on the ground safely.

[@creid7537]

@@vagirl19If only one wheel is missing off the nose gear, they may still attempt a normal landing. If both wheels are missing off the nose, they will not belly land, but touch down normally and let the nose down to drag to a stop. Landing with gear up and on the engines is the last thing you want to do.

It's a UNITED maintenance issue. Nothing to do with Boeing. The severist of punishments need to be levied against them. Gross negligence!

[@mattwatson]

We don't know who's fault it was until properly investigated. I will say though we have heard many times that it's not Boeing's fault and it's an isolated incident, only for it to happen again then Boeing admits it was their fault. I think at this point the whole world knows that you cannot trust American companies or engineering. They are a corrupt country who only care about money. I have heard that the EU plan to ban Boeing from flying in their airspace because they keep killing their citizens. Airbus plans to open 7 new factories for all the new orders for airlines that dropped Boeing. Also Embraer plan to build their own Boeing planes under license but with proper safety features and checks.

@@dantag5195 Obviously you are the one ignoring facts. Wheels don't stay on the aircraft indefinitely; they get switched out.

Do YOUR homework before criticizing others.

People always blame the subcontractors, but the Airline is the one responsible for contracting with them in the first place.

[@Adwaenyth]

If they continue losing parts like that, you can probably assemble a full gear by the end of next year with what you gathered from around the airports...

[@TheEDFLegacy]

Now that's a type of foreign object debris you don't get to deal with everyday. 😳 Glad no one was hit by the tire! That's a lot of kinetic energy. Flying tires have literally killed people on roads. Although it probably won't kill anyone in an airliner, it will do serious damage.

[@benrichey2593]

They had one at SFO earlier this year that destroyed a car in long term parking m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJaqoGpvo7eArbc

[@davecrupel2817]

If it hits the side of an airliner at take off speed, uncomfortable betting it could still kill someone on the inside. Airliners are tough to be sure. But those main wheels are typically around 500 lbs. You said it yourself. That. Is. A. *Ton.* of energy being slammed into the side of something. Now if it glances off said airliner, it won't hurt anyone. But it's the same thing as throwing a shoe at a fly.

[@ExtremeSquared]

@@davecrupel2817 And by a quirk of physics, those tires hit significantly harder due to the fact they are spinning with takeoff velocity at the tread. The impact has to dissipate rotational energy in roughly the same way as the standard kinetic energy.

[@absurdengineering]

@@ExtremeSquaredTheir rotational kinetic energy probably exceeds their linear kinetic energy. When they hit something, they apply insane shear forces - comparable to braking forces of an aircraft wheel on the ground. Such a tire hitting a leading edge could do surprising amount of damage - it wouldn’t be a dent, more like a deep gash, potentially breaching a wing tank.

Think of the number of wheel bearing/axle assemblies in the fleet - They keep creeping the required maintenance range overhaul times for everything longer and longer because they have gotten better at making things overall and can mostly do so to save cash - but that means there will be a slight rise in spurious failures - wether that is acceptable or not is up to regulators and the public.
