Boeing plane loses tire on takeoff in Los Angeles

A Boeing plane lost a tire during takeoff at Los Angeles airport this Monday, July 8, a new embarrassing episode for the American aircraft manufacturer which is accumulating setbacks and technical failures.

The American company United Airlines, which operated the aircraft, confirmed this incident in a press release.

“The wheel was recovered in Los Angeles, and we are investigating the cause of this event,” she announced.

The plane, a Boeing 757-200, had 174 passengers and seven crew members on board bound for Denver. He managed to land without damage despite the missing wheel, 25 minutes late. The aircraft was delivered to the company 30 years ago, in 1994, according to a Boeing spokesperson.
