United Airlines plane loses wheel on takeoff in Los Angeles

A United Airlines plane lost a wheel while taking off Monday from Los Angeles International Airport, officials said, marking the latest issue this year. The incident caused the plane to circle back and make an emergency landing at the airport.

This is not the first time United Airlines has faced safety concerns with its aircraft. In February, a United Airlines flight experienced engine failure shortly after taking off from Denver International Airport, scattering debris over nearby neighborhoods.
