A United Airlines flight from Mexico City to San Francisco was forced to make an emergency landing shortly after flight on Saturday.
Since the plane was full of fuel when it landed, fire engines were on standby as the plane landed on the tarmac."We're really sorry about this. Soon after we took off, it was pretty obvious the fuel wasn't flowing in a balanced way. So the fuel tanks were quickly becoming lopsided in weight so we needed to get to Mexico City as soon as possible," the pilot said in video captured on cell video.
Because of the extra fuel and weight on landing, the pilot told passengers once the plane landed, that there was a potential for the landing gear to overheat, and that the fire trucks were on standby as a precaution.Copyright © 2022 KGO-TV. All Rights Reserved.
