“The United Airlines flight landed safely at the airport in Medford, Oregon. The post-flight inspection determined that the panel was missing,” RIA Novosti quoted the regulator as saying. The cause of the incident will be determined during the investigation. It is known that the plane took off on the morning of March 15 from San Francisco International Airport. There were 139 passengers and six crew members on board. According to the FlightAware service, the plane landed 17 minutes earlier than expected. The missing panel was discovered during a routine post-flight inspection. As Regnum reported, on March 11, a former 62-year-old quality engineer at the Boeing plant, who had repeatedly stated that the company uses defective parts when assembling aircraft, was found dead in his truck in the parking lot of a hotel in South Carolina. John Barnett worked for the company for 32 years. In early March, he was invited to court to testify against the company. A United Airlines Boeing 777-200 lost a tire on March 7 while taking off from San Francisco Airport to Japan. The plane made an emergency landing in Los Angeles. A tire flying off the plane landed in a parking lot and damaged several cars. There were 249 people on board the Boeing, including 235 passengers. In early February, ABC News reported that Boeing would send about 50 aircraft for modification. Experts found that a number of holes in the fuselage of the aircraft were not drilled in full compliance with technical requirements. On January 5, there was a plane incident with a flight flying from Portland to Ontario. At an altitude of about 5 km, a piece of the fuselage was torn out of an Alaska Airlines Boeing with 177 people on board, along with the emergency exit door. The part that came off in flight was later found by a Portland resident. The part fell in the backyard of a private house. No people were injured as a result of the emergency. | |

| #2 I had a Pinto. Loved it. Never crashed. Also Corvair. Successful new airline that offers private jet-like levels of service at far lower costs is slammed by profit-hungry established rivals who claim it risks falling victim to terrorists |
