The age of the aircraft is not as important as the maintenance of the aircraft.
Yes, but then it's not Boeing fault. It's in United's hands after it's been made.
Agree!
There is a point at which the aircraft must be phased out due to pressurization cycles, but you’re mostly right. That woman clearly wasn’t the smartest person on the planet, so I would really pay her much attention.
....and which D.E.I. Union Mechanic was responsible for 'tightening the retaining nut'.
@@RaoulStankovitch, DEI do you mean Black people? Why don’t you just come right out and say it?
It's not a Boeing issue! It's a united maintenance issue.
RUSH RUSH HURRY HURRY
PEOPLE DONT DO ANYTHING RIGHT THESE DAYS
@@ekop1778 Especially at United.
United was paid by Airbus to do this
Diversity wins again!
As an aircraft mechanic for over 35yrs, all of these incidents over the past several months looks to be sabotage!
Although a wheel falling off an airliner is a bad thing,it’s not the manufacturers fault. It’s the airlines fault. They maintain the aircraft since it was delivered and a mechanic didn’t secure the wheel properly. Blaming Boeing for this is wrong.
Why did you write this comment? Are you paid for writing comments?
@@lordjim3109 I’m a retired airline mechanic with an FAA maintenance certificate. I spent 17 years working on BOEINGS planes. The 757,767,and 777. So I know what I’m talking about. This particular incident was NOT Boeings fault,it was a mechanics fault for not following the maintenance procedures properly.
@@fw1421 Who says it was Boeing`s fault? It was United and it was a Boeing. They are just stating facts. Should they also refrain from mentioning the departure airport lest the people there feel blamed?
@@lordjim3109 They're only stating Boeing because of the ongoing issues with new Boeing aircraft, it's simply scaremongering.
@@lordjim3109 He writes the truth for free.
The very definition of "flying it until the wheels fall off" 😂
30+ years working on military and civilian aircraft and I have never witnessed this ever! Who ever the mechanics are, they are not following procedures and IA inspectors are failing big time
DEI hire, they want to do the same with pilots😂
Yeah I used to work in crash recovery on f-111 s in the airforce. I have never seen a wheel come off .
@@dr.jillalicecooper2587Just stop. That disgraces the names of everyone who ever suffered by "the right people" who failed upwards. That happened far more.
I have similar experience and I've seen wheels fall from military jets too. Heck a DOV C-5 lost a whole lower half of a nose strut on departure out of SUU once. Too early to start the Nuremberg tribunals, lets wait to see what the findings are. What's the history of this jet? Did it suffer from a hard landing recently? Was the tire changed recently? Etc.
I've helped change a tire once when I worked for an airline and found that one of the nuts that hold the split rims together was sheared off the new tire. We caught it but at our airline wheel and tires were sent out for overhaul. And I've never heard of a tire change being an RII item.
As far as the DEI claims I see on here. DEI is a thing but you have to remember that in these locations (JFK, SFO, LAX, EWR, ORD, DCA, IAD etc) nobody wants to work there due to the high cost of living. So they probably have a hard finding mechanics or a lot of young ones out of school. That's why I'm only doing this part time now and I know guys that left the airlines to work as forklift mechanics and other trades because it pays better and you aren't working the grave shift until you are 60 and can't hold down a weekend day off.
@@AG-un7dz Shit happens doesn't it ? People need to understand something ,increased traffic means more aircraft are flying now than ever before .And the law of averages means more incidents will occur .In the old days before social media and the internet, people just didn't hear about them as much as they do now.Much of it is just sensationalism
The pattern isn’t second Boeing plane. It is second United plane.
Yes, that one bad week "Boeing" had was all United.
My husband is a retired A&P mechanic. It is not a Boeing problem or age of aircraft. It's a maintenance problem within the Airline.
that's maintenance
Well they are more concerned with kicking a mother and baby off a flight, because she misgendered someone. They are not concerned about running a good company, they are just concerned with *looking* good on the surface
The common denominator is United's maintenance. Scott Kirby hasn't taken this seriously. He needs to be taken to task. All this is on his watch. But what does he know. He's never out in the operation.
"Get it together, man"😂😂😂

This has nothing to do with Boeing, it is clearly a United maintenance issue.
Abosolutely nothing to do with Boeing. There was not a single Boeing within 20 miles when that happened.
Frank Zappa is spot on
I thought that was Sammy Hagar from 20 years ago.
Nah, that's Dee Snider.

Status back, baby !

Nice that you found Frank Zappa for an interview about this.
Who tf is that?
Zappa was intelligent. Every loser the little cameras guys could find not so much.
It is not the second “Boeing“ aircraft to lose a tire. It is the second united aircraft to lose a tire. This is not Boeing’s fault. This is United’s maintenance failure. More distorted reporting.
Reporters are uniformed.
They didn`t say it`s Boeing`s fault. You think they should keep it secret what aircraft was involved? They just stated the facts.
@@enigmo20 Nothing they said was inaccurate. It WAS a United and it WAS a Boeing.
Media desinformation

I think you should give them a number to call.

You picked a fine time to leave me loose wheel! 🎶
Wow, people are stupid.
The ones that say it’s Boeing, yep they are
It's a wheel assembly, not a "tire."
Whatever you call it, it was a United plane that it fell from, and United seems to be having more and more mechanical problems that aren't discovered until they are taking off or in flight.
Yup, for everyone else it's a tire for those of us that know it's an assembled wheel, tire mounted balanced with seals and bearings inside. It's all documented and tracked.
@@JSFGuy I keep forgetting that 99.9% of the world has never worked in aviation.
@@meatpopsicle1567 Right and that's fine It's just that the choice of words are like wait a second You know there's a wheel and a tire? Even the basics know that but yeah it's just typical generalizing from the news.
@@ajs11201 It won't be long now, at this rate, before we start seeing their aircraft coming out of depot level maintenance with the word "United" being misspelled as "Untied."
100% not a Boeing issue. United has some serious problems with their maintenance on the west coast.
It's not a Boeing problem, it's a United problem. Tires falling off are a maintenance issue, not a manufacturer issue.
Talk to the guy or girl who has changed the tire, the same for your car
Wow man, what is your job at McDonalds?
Your communication skills are remarkable!
:55 "second Boeing aircraft" it's like blaming auto manufacturers for wheels falling of their vehicles on a freeway.
Blaming? They are just reporting facts. It WAS a Boeing. Should they also refrain from mentioning it was a wheel that fell off lest the wheel manufacturer`s fans get offended? Or should they not name the departure port of SF lest the people in SF feel offended?
Why don't they interview airplane mechanics for this?
To the guy interviewed, airline mechanics make good money and get generous flight benefits. What is going on at United?
This story is wheelie absurd.
And props to whoever time-warped the guy from the 60s to give us his take on this. Hope he got back in time to catch the latest episode of Laugh In.
Dude, when THAT guy starts his interview about you with "get it together, man", you gotta get it together man.
I know this is off the subject but that one guy's hair is legendary😅
the blue haired kids are doing a bang up job!
Love the guy they picked to interview!
Settle down, everyone! That was the SPARE.
United is more concerned about their hostess being properly pronouned than they are about safety.
that wheel went boeing boeing boeing boeing
😂😂😂
Good one
You Win! 😂 🏆
If it was an airbus the manufacturer wouldn’t have been mentioned.
That was your brain
Somebody in the United maintenance department is gonna get fired for not tightening the bolts on those tires!
I doubt it, they can't fire their DEI employees.
They will get a pay rise.

This isn't a Boeing or age of aircraft issues. This is a United maintenance issue.
Bit tyre went Boeing Boeing Boeing down runway
@@thestruggler3338you mean Mc Mc Mc McDonnell Douglas
This was no accident it was a maintenance error. All United Airlines maintenance employees are not focused on the work that's the problem
Wow, seriously? 100% of United Airline Maintenance Employees are space cadets and not paying attention?
I mean, do you REALLY think that ALL of them are horrible at their jobs? I mean, the odds are really stacked against that. Unless of course it's the first interview question: "So tell me, just how bad is your ADD? Do you medicate for it? Or do you just get easily distracted 100% of the time? Oh, you prefer to use a steady supply of edibles? And what are your thoughts about safety? You've never thought about it? Cool man, you're hired" and then the next interview, "Tell me about your OCD? You follow every procedure down to the very last step? Then you double check everything? Well anything else you want us to know? You grew up in a family of Boeing Mechanics? You would sort all the supply bins? You've memorized the size, shape, weight, feel, and part numbers of every single part? Okay dude. WE'll give you a call if we're interested."
@@LadyLithias You make a valid point. Of course it's nowhere near 100% of United's employees that are poor performers. However, you do have to admit that it's usually United's planes in the news because they lost a wing or a wheel assembly or some other major problem. So clearly it's enough of United's employees that are bringing the company down.
Many aircraft accidents, have been pinpointed due to maintenance handoffs. One shift ends with work not complete. So next shift takes over, but that can lead to errors. Maintenance should be required to finish critical repair work on the same shift. Plus, you have a great number of clowns constantly on their cell phones, which is a MAJOR distraction. I see it every day out on the ramp.
@@meddyven That may be so, but it does seem that this happens more with United and Southwest than it does with the other airlines.
@@ajs11201 I won't disagree with you on that.
This is not a Boeing problem, it’s United
As a kid, I heard stories about hubcaps falling off planes and landing on Playa Del Rey.
Now you can pass on better stories to your kid 😂
The CEO needs to be fired! That's probably exactly what he's trying to do so he can collect his CEO severance package!
The CEO has been too busy celebrating Pride month.
Nobody knows why the wheel fell off until it is investigated. Be patient.
That biker guy is correct. This is no longer just a coincidence. There is something wrong with the maintenance team.
1 wheel coming off in 2024 is one thing. 2 wheels coming off 2 different planes in the same airline is another LOL
…those aircraft maintenance experts they interviewed are so correct!
The wheels are falling off this life the same way
Maintenance issue. Most general aviation platforms are twice as old as this. I’d like to see the logs on this one.
Wheel, it's a wheel. Even the pilot got it wrong. And yes, it's a big deal. This is 100% a maintenance issue, not a manufacturing fault. And it speaks volumes about the QC in that department. Go United, not.
Something is fishy at UA's maintenance dept. The FBI should investigate for sabotage.
Before you get completely out of control, it was more than likely a bearing and wheel failure which was the responsibility of the vendor who inspects and rebuild the tire and wheel assembly. Hear main gland nut was in place and saftied. It’s a mechanical component and anything is prone to possible failure. But flaw was not picked up by vendor don’t blame the mechanics if you do not know what you are talking about.

Is that the best interview you can get? Wow.
United has been on a ROLL lately
Interviewing all lunatics for that extra "wow" factor eh.
Dont worry, the FAA is tightening scrutiny on United. They'll get to the bottom of this! 🙄
Tighten like tyre nut ?
Just take a look at WHO is maintaining our airlines !!
Pilots mind: where we are going, we dont need wheels!!!
First at SFO, now LAX. I sense a pattern here....
I saw a worker who in the truck inside the runway smoke crack( it was a small pipe that you burn thing in it with a lighter. I don't think he smoke tabaco. I saw it about 2 years ago but it was at LAX.
United Airlines in my opinion is starting to become a little unsafe these days
I will make sure I will not fly United Airlines
1:05 They need to pay the guy in charge of tires falling off more money so this doesn't happen again man.
Come on United....
Ur better than that.
Actually, no, they're not. They've positioned themselves to place profits above all else, including passenger safety. They're now trying to lure travelers to fly with them by providing better food and better in-flight entertainment; meanwhile, the wings and wheel assemblies are falling off of their planes.
@@ajs11201nerd
I`m not sure about that.
United we fall… off
they forget to retorque
Will FAA investigate United's incompetence?
The aircraft are designed to have some amount of redundancy. A wheel falling off doesn't place it at risk. The poor maintenance required to allow it to fall off? That's a risk, and I'm pretty sure Boeing isn't to blame for the wheel coming off a 30+year old plane - who installed that wheel, and is responsible forponsible ror its maintenance?
Does United need to pick up some torque wrenches?
Yet the stock is green everyday…. Tell me it’s rigged without saying it’s rigged lol
Maintenance quality assurance is greatly lacking... there was none. The last person to work on the wheel....You are fired!
1:05 --- I think that was the guy from the "Freedom Rock" commercials in 1988.
That’s got nothing to do with Boeing and everything to do with airline maintenance or lack thereof.
Not a Boeing Issue, a United Maint issue. Boeing got their money for the plane, and now United is trying to make as much money as it can from it, by keeping it in the air as much as possible, proper maintenance be damned.
This is merely the result of two things.
Cutting all costs in favor of Profit, including cutting back maintenance.

The reporter is speaking 1.75x faster than normal playback speed.
"God is in control" yeah that must be what the mechanic said who checked that wheel.
They told you they don't want you venturing farther than 15 miles from home, so there's that.
Why is Boeing being brought into it though, that tyre would have been changed multiple times by United maintenance over the years.
Yeah, sure, they should hide the type of aircraft lest the Boeing fans might feel offended.
@@lordjim3109 the conspiracy theorist 😂😂, are you trying to say that it isn’t the fault of poor maintenance on behalf of the airline then 🤔🤔
Wow, it's almost like when you prioritize profits over quality and safety things fall apart? I guess that explains where our country is currently at.
Nice job United, you didn’t lose my luggage but you lost your tire!
‘How much does that guy make?’ Not enough for sure, compared to the responsability he has every day
I remember back before smoking pot was against the law! Airplanes didn't lose their wheel assemblies on takeoff
Union problem or a DEI problem.
racist clown
Did anyone check to make sure the reporter didn’t mistakenly go to the bus station?
🎼You picked a fine time to leave me loose wheel.🎶
Interview the craziest most low rent looking people every time......
enjoy being yourself sane and high rent then, instead of writing pointless comments.
It doesn’t matter how old the aircraft is, if the wheel wasn’t fitted correctly this is what can happen. If the aircraft is thirty years old I’ll put money on that undercarriage isn’t the same age. Periodic maintenance means the landing gear would be removed for overhaul at a certain age and be replaced in accordance with the aircraft maintenance schedule, the same as various other parts. In its life I’ll bet that aircraft is on its third set of landing gear. And as for the guy in the hat making a big thing about it, I’m sure who ever it was fitted the wheel and signed for it, is in deep deep trouble right now. If they fitted the wheel incorrectly (which must be the case, or it wouldn’t have fallen off) they could be charged with endangering and aircraft and life and get jailed. They’ve probably already been fired over this.
I think the wheels came off in America a long time ago 😂
Was that Hippie guy Ernie Boch????
Don’t play games with people’ lives. Issues would be resolved within the company.

A tire flew came off delta as they turned into a runway in the last few months as well.
Ride that B til the wheels fall off 😂
"You picked a fine time to leave me loose wheel ..." (sung to the tune of "Lucille" by Kenny Rogers).
Also, it's almost certainly not a Boeing problem, but a United Airline maintenance problem, seeing as how this is the second UNITED jet to lose a tire. How are management-union relations at United?
Tire... and wheel!
None of those girls interviewed had a clue what they were talking about. Except the older lady at the end. She know’s what’s up.👍
