Well some mechanic will be out of a job, who failed to check the tire pressures routinely. Wonder how much the FAA will fine United Airlines
This is the second united flight ive heard about with tire issues at that airport. The flight to Hawaii yesterday had to deboard for a tire change too
God is so good and wonderful. It would have been a different story if it was landing or taking off.
I was on another United flight on the runway when this happened!! I took a pic of the fire! Wish we could add photos here
