A United Airlines plane experienced a frightening incident on Monday when it lost a wheel during takeoff from Los Angeles International Airport. This marks the latest in a series of issues for the airline, which has been under scrutiny by federal aviation officials for safety concerns.
The Boeing 757-200 aircraft, with 174 customers and seven crew members on board, managed to complete its scheduled flight to Denver and landed safely, with no injuries reported on the ground. The airline has confirmed that the wheel has been recovered in Los Angeles, and an investigation is underway to determine the cause of the event. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is also conducting its own investigation into the matter.
