In the US, yet another plane mishap!
A United Airlines plane – obviously a Boeing ๐๐ – had to be grounded Friday. It was found to be missing an external panel after it touched down following a flight.
The plane is a Boeing 737-824 carrying 139 passengers, and successfully touched down in Medford Airport in Oregon despite the missing part.
No injuries were reported, Jackson County Airport Director Amber Judd said, adding the flight had originated from San Francisco, California.
It is revealed that it was the wing-to-body fairing that ripped off – a part that is located on the underside of the aircraft where the wing meets the aircraft body.
The panel sits just adjacent to where the landing gear deploys, and serves as a protective shell between the wing and the fuselage.
The incident – the latest from the embattled manufacturer – occurred Monday, and is the sixth involving a Boeing plane in 10 days. Judd further clarified the part fell off mid-flight, as feds continue to look into Boeing's production practices.
It is becoming an irrefutable fact the US cannot compete with China and so, they manufacture the excuse of a national security threat to stonewall, stymie and stop the Chinese! The Americans are shameless!
