Was watching the livestream on Youtube. Just saw this 777 lose a wheel on take-off.
It hit a parked car, no people got hurt.
The plane made a succesfull emergency landing at LAX.

Lucky it hit a car and not a person! No doubt something was missed during maintenance.

The past week has been a UAL nightmare.
No need to use carbon fiber to reduce weight if you are creative enough…
I was watching the channel not long before this happened, would have been cool to see it in real time. Really lucky nobody was harmed.
The landing was amazing, both the landing itself (butter smooth, kudos to that crew taking care of their aircraft) and the TV coverage. The 777 is already a wonderful bird, but looked even more awesome in that footage.
Some tough questions to be answered by somebody at United, when you have four incidents in two days…
Well it still has plenty of 'm left, right? 
Ya picked a fine time to leave me, loose wheel!
