A Boeing 737 Max 8 operated by United Airlines veered off the runway after landing in Houston early Friday in the latest near-miss involving the embattled airliner.
The aircraft, which arrived from Memphis, is said to have suffered some form of gear collapse as it exited the runway at George Bush Airport, although the 160 passengers and six crew were not injured.
Shocking footage showed the plane lying flat on its wings on grass by the side of the runway, while passengers were hurried off from an emergency gate ladder.

It appears that the pilots missed their turn off the runway and drove into the grass, where the gear collapsed after getting stuck in the rain-soaked sod.

Second reply.
The airline industry has been under attack ever since 9/11 and I would dearly like to see the employee rosters of the maintenance crews.
They ALL came here for a better life, but I suspect to do damage once that life is attained.

Didn't a tire fall off a Boeing plane today? I try not to fly but with the airlines pushing DEI I will only fly if I have no other choice.
