I remember a similar incident many years ago of a plane taking off from Philly and dropping a wheel onto a very rough section of the city of Chester, about 20 miles south. It broke through the front of a bar and rolled through behind several patrons perched on barstools. They glanced at the thing and went right back to what they were doing.

@paulhunter1735
4 ай бұрын
One reason could be that it was probably heavily fueled at takeoff for the long distance trip to Japan. Aircraft like this have a maximum weight for landing which is often much less than takeoff weight so diverting to LAX would allow them to burn off some of the fuel weight and allow them to dump fuel to reduce weight before they landed if needed.

Why does the reporter keep referring to a "tire" falling off? It was a wheel with a tire installed on it. That makes it much heavier and therefore dangerous. The reporter should try to change a "tire" on his car. He would reach for a wheel with a tire already installed, or his car will not be driveable when he is done. The damage done to the cars would have been less severe had it been only a tire bouncing on the parked cars.

It's not United 'Airlines, It's Untidy Airlines. Just think, if the wheel, and tire had fallen 2 seconds later it would have landed on traffic on Highway 101. What happened to the axle that the wheel was mounted on? Is it sitting in the middle of the runway waiting for the next plane to hit during take off?
@cageordie
4 ай бұрын
Why would the axle have left too? There's another wheel on the other end of it. If the axle broke it would have remained locked to the wheel. So what is probably missing is the retaining hardware, which is basically a huge nut, which probably departed from the end of the axle.

The flight to SFO would not be long enough to get below max landing weight, but it would allow him to jettison as much fuel as needed off the coast. My assumptions, anyway...

This isn't the first time a wheel has fallen off a commercial jet this year. This isn't exclusive to Boeing, though the last one I remember was a Delta Boeing 757 nose gear wheel about a month ago at JFK. More than 20 years ago a friend saw a main gear wheel from something similar bounce on US101 before going into the marsh on the east side somewhere south of the Oregon Expressway exit. On February 19th there was a report of a main gear wheel falling off a Latam Airbus A319 at Sao Paulo. So this isn't a Boeing or United thing, even though neither is a company I trust over their competitors. I will never willingly fly with United and avoid 737s.
