Moment tyre falls from United Airlines flight mid-air
A United Airlines flight headed for Japan landed safely at Los Angeles International airport after losing a tyre mid-air following takeoff from San Francisco. United said it was arranging for a new aircraft to continue the trip for the 249 people who were on board the Boeing B777-200. The tyre landed in the airport’s staff carpark, smashing a window and damaging at least one car.

It's not a tyre, it's a wheel.
How symbolic.
Boeing not having a Goodyear…
太離譜了.
For any non plain experts this was due to a scientific thing called gravity
Does anybody take their jobs seriously anymore? 🤔

i have seen airliners full of pax waiting in front of the gates PLBs after long flight: no walker. not One walker.
Bono my tyre is gone
Thr company name made us expect this… Those men in power of those aircraft engineers need to learn self control first.
If people always put money before life, there will always be disasters
The wheel just couldn't stay united
– What sound makes a falling plane's tire on a parked car ?
– BOEING !
Normal 😂😂 all united aircraft’s ages above 25
This is the latest issue on a plane
The pilot did mention that he was retiring after the flight, and so will the plane.
Imagine seeing your written off car on TV/social media
Usual low quantity reporting, this was not "mid-flight"
Fact check: not mid-flight
