I am just glad I don't do air travel anymore. United and Boeing are woke and dei.

My daughter frequently flies for her job, and for pleasure. God protect her, and anyone else who flies.

When they were on their final descent, Stubblefield said the a flight attendant got on the PA and said “brace, brace, brace.”

“It was not the smoothest landing and I didn’t expect that,” Stubblefield said. “There was a bump, but that was it.”

When I was in the trades, I used to work with people who would do stuff like this just for fun.

The wheel has since been recovered in Los Angeles.

I hope this isn't the Mayor's house.

You took a fine time to leave me, loose wheel...

Your high tech manufacturing QA is only as good as the muzzie you hired to do it.

When a wheel falls off of a 30-year-old Yukon, does the media demand GM solve the problem right now?

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.

I think that foreign nations infiltrating our manufacturing processes is where the problem is. Food production as well. Trump ain’t gonna fix this.

United says an investigation is now ongoing to determine what caused the wheel to fall off.

DEI, Duh!

Last year we drove from Sacramento to Denver, visited, stayed with family and friends for about 10 days, and then drove back. We took our time, driving as far as we wanted each day, stopping wherever we wanted, whenever we desired. With an average of six hours driving, we had the most relaxing, fun, eventful trip. The idea of sitting in a cramped, crowded plane never occurred to us.

Driving across the Great Salt Lake Basin was amazing. Not once did we see an EV, until we were in Salt Lake City. Same for Wyoming. Beautiful drive. Hours and hours of amazing country, and not an EV in sight. Also, you can see the loooong trains pulling the containers with all the stuff we want and need. Some of the trains had double stacked containers. Later, we would see all the trucks that delivered all those containers to their ultimate destination. The idea of forcing all those trains, and even more trucks, be EV is ludicrous.

I just retired after 43 years in acft
maintenance. This is not on Boeing. Changing wheels and brakes is basic line maintenance stuff, but you can screw it up if you don’t follow the manual. I worked for UAL 26 years ago and never heard of anything like this.

The 757-200 is probably 25 years old.

Exactly. And that capitulation to the DEI nonsense culture also opens the door to saboteurs among the several million undocumented migrants known to be in this country at the invitation of the Biden regime.

The wheels are coming off everything these days, just like Biden’s campaign against Trump and the democrat party.

I haven’t flown since 9-11.

I don’t trust the government to keep me safe, not anywhere.

Are we really surprised that an airplane had its wheels stripped in LA?

Boeing is in deep doo. Their planes are unsafe and I have to fly in one on Wed.
