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.

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

@@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.

United definetely has something with its wheels. N14107, the Incident Aircraft, is a 29 years old former Continental Aircraft. But that it is an aged Plane doesn´t explain what happened here. There should be a look onto the Maintenance Procedures. Thank you very much for picking this incident up so quickly!🙂👍

The important question: Did they put crime scene tape around the tire like last time? 😂

Interesting that the previous time a wheel fell off of an aircraft back in March it was a United Aircraft. They need to take a look at the processes it seems. Edit: Especially as it is across different aircraft types, last time was a B777. This time the B757

Perfectly good decision to continue to your destination after the loss of a tyre. No need to panic and return to land.

Remember when United in SFO was having all these issues just 5 months ago? You know like a wheel falling off on takeoff.

"What tire fell off?" It was a black round tire.

A Delta 757 lost a wheel taking the runway in January. Sounds very similar.

Second , united wheel loss in a fairly short time frame. Must be a loose nut somewhere
