Officials at Denver International Airport said United Flight 1001 -- a Boeing 757-200 -- landed at DIA just before 11 a.m. after a wheel on the rear landing gear fell off the plane upon takeoff at LAX. No injuries were reported among the 174 passengers or seven crewmembers.
United says an investigation is now ongoing to determine what caused the wheel to fall off. The wheel has since been recovered in Los Angeles.
Allen Stubblefield was traveling from southern California to Iowa with a connecting flight in Denver. He flies for work often and has never been part of an emergency landing. He said the takeoff felt completely normal but bout halfway through the flight, the pilot got on the PA to say they'd be doing an emergency landing into Denver.

Indeed!
Before 9/11 I didn’t mind air travel but after the number of issues I have with air travel multiplied.
When I was in the trades, I used to work with people who would do stuff like this just for fun.
I hope this isn't the Mayor's house.
Righty tighty
There are 45,000 flights *per day* in the U.S.., handling 2.9 million passengers.
Just sayin’…
You took a fine time to leave me, loose wheel...
Four-hundred children and a crop in the field.
Your high tech manufacturing QA is only as good as the muzzie you hired to do it.
Good point.
Seems more likely to be United.
United Airlines maintenance is at fault for this one. And since it isn't the first wheel loss out of SFO this year, they might have a sabotage issue on their hands.
No one wants hear about anyone’s successful flight..
Or good news for that matter.
I think that foreign nations infiltrating our manufacturing processes is where the problem is. Food production as well. Trump ain’t gonna fix this.
DEI, Duh!
right over the sand dunes my granny had a house next to the park thats still out there on vista del mar till the airport took it
I serious doubt if that is the factory wheel install on a plane that is 20 or more years old.
Keep in mind that if the plane was more than a year or so old, the fault lies with the airline maintenance, not the manufacturer.

i thought it was dei maintenance hires..
..but with the frequency of late i now think its that AND sabotage.
The last two were built in 2005. So unless it was one of the last two on the line, it’s more than 20 years old.
Just an attempt to keep Biden off the nightly news for 5 minutes.
Was it safer to land in Denver than at the original destination?
