A United Airlines flight was diverted to LAX after the aircraft lost a tire during takeoff from San Francisco.
A United Airlines plane landed safely at the Los Angeles International Airport Thursday afternoon after it was diverted to LA when the aircraft lost a tire during takeoff from San Francisco. "United Flight 35 lost one tire after takeoff from San Francisco. The flight will land at LAX. Once the flight lands in Los Angeles, we will arrange a new aircraft to continue this trip for our customers," a spokesperson for United Media Relations said.
"Information from FlightAware shows the plane was bound for the Kansai International Airport in Izumisano, Japan, with an anticipated travel time of about 12 and a half hours. Tire fell on parked cars in the parking lot. Luckily, no one was injured but multiple cars were damaged. "To me it was really terrifying to see that it was just a few feet from where people walk. It hit a vehicle where someone could have been sitting in their vehicle," said flight attendant Buffy Bartley.
