LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A United Airlines flight made an emergency landing in Los Angeles Friday afternoon following reports of a "complete hydraulic failure."
The Airbus A320 took off from San Francisco International Airport with 110 people on board, headed to Mexico City, and was diverted to L.A. "due to an issue with the aircraft's hydraulic system," United said in a statement.
The plane landed at Los Angeles International Airport just before 4:30 p.m.
"The flight landed safely and passengers were deplaned normally at the gate," the airline said, adding that passengers will be taken to Mexico City on a new aircraft that was scheduled to depart Friday later.
"This aircraft type has three hydraulic systems for redundancy purposes. Preliminary information shows there was only an issue with one system on this aircraft."

It made the emergency landing but skidded past a blown out exit door from a Boeing 737 MAX 9 Alaska Airlines plane and then rolled over a shredded tire from a United Airlines plane.🛬🚑🚒🚓
“Thank you for flying with us. We hope you had a pleasant trip and will fly with us again. So long.”👨✈️
“complete hydraulic failure.”
Landed safely. Uh huh, with no hydraulics.
Then...”This aircraft type has three hydraulic systems for redundancy purposes. Preliminary information shows there was only an issue with one system on this aircraft.”
One of three redundant systems failed and that is “COMPLETE” hydraulic failure.
Come on, even a semi-literate, semi-technical person should know better than to write that.
Too many United jets to be coincidence. Any thoughts on this being intentional?
What is that from? That’s so appropriate!
Yeah. It probably wasn’t.
Crazy People
To get that much flack they must be over some important target.
Rodney Dangerfield: “I get nervous when I fly. I heard my pilot on the way here ask over the speakers “does anyone here know if Miami Airport is open late tonight?”
If mgm’t isn’t taking competence seriously, why expect the recent hires to?
C’mon man, these folks have social concerns pressing their lives.
>Too many United jets to be coincidence. Any thoughts on this being intentional?<
As Mr. Unique said, this happens all the time. It’s just getting reported.
I have had an engine failure and diverted to Denver. It never even made a local paper. I’ve had smoke fill the cabin and diverted to Pittsburgh, no news report on that. Returned to the gate with hydraulic issues, electrical issues, engine issues, medical issues, no news. I even had to shutdown after landing and get towed in because the engines were stuck in reverse. I bet you didn’t read about that.
Without looking, I think United has over one million flights per year. Equipment failures happen, crashes don’t. That says a lot about the professionalism of the employees.
When it gets convenient for a narrative, every operating room death will make news, every arrest of a person of color will be reported, or no mass shooting by a tranny will make it past one news cycle.
The media are lazy and unoriginal.

In the old days, referred to as “Un-tied”
United has SERIOIS maintenance issues. But at least their CEO is fully woke.
Thanks for the ping; posts. United we fly, divided we fall.
The plane was self identifying as a ship.
Dang, give some prior warning so early in the morning.
“As Mr. Unique said, this happens all the time. It’s just getting reported.”
You must fly 100 times a year. I fly about 8 times a year and other than bad weather have never had any issues.
#1 in diversity is #1 in accidents..whodda thunk it.
It must have killed the media to have to report that this was an Airbus, not a Boeing jet.
