NBC reports that the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) is investigating yet another Boeing mishap,
this time involving an American Airlines flight.
On March 13, a Boeing 777 landed after it "blew
a tire during take off" from Dallas-Fort Worth
International Airport, according to the FAA.
American Airlines, the flight's operator, said that no
tire was blown, adding that the pilot was aware that
the pressure was low in one of the aircraft's tires.
The aircraft taxied to the gate
under its own power and
customers deplaned normally, American Airlines statement, via NBC.
LAX confirmed that the flight
landed safely without incident.
The news comes after another incident
involving a Boeing aircraft just last week.
In that incident a tire flew off of a United
Airlines Boeing 777-200 shortly after
takeoff, prompting an emergency landing.
At the time, United said that the Boeing 777-200
is “designed to land safely with missing or
damaged tires" as it has “six tires on each
of its two main landing gear struts.”.
NBC reports that these incidents follow a major
January 5 mishap involving a door panel blowing off
of a Boeing 737 Max 9 plane operated by Alaska Airlines. .
In response to that incident, the FAA grounded all
Boeing 737 Max 9 aircraft in the U.S and ordered
increased oversight of Boeing aircraft production.
