Un Boeing 777 al companiei United Airlines a aterizat joi, 7 martie, de urgență la Los Angeles după ce a pierdut anvelopa de pe una dintre roţi imediat după ce a decolat de pe Aeroportul Internațional San Francisco, transmite CBS News.
Avionul se îndrepta spre Osaka, Japonia şi avea 249 de persoane la bord.
Pneul a sărit şi a ajuns într-o parcare a aeroportului, distrugând mai multe maşini. Nimeni nu a fost însă rănit, iar cauza defecțiunii roții va fi investigată de Administrația Federală a Aviației.
Avionul are şase pneuri pe fiecare dintre cele două trenuri de aterizare, astfel încât poate ateriza în siguranţă dacă una lipseşte sau este deteriorată, a transmis United Airlines, într-un comunicat.
După ce avionul a aterizat în siguranță pe aeroportul din Los Angeles, un nou avion a fost trimis pentru a duce pasagerii la destinaţia finală, potrivit CBS.
