United Airlines passenger planes have been in constant trouble over the past week, experiencing multiple emergency landings. And most of them are flights to and from San Francisco International Airport, and their safety has been questioned by the outside world.
On March 4, a United Airlines flight from Hawaii to San Francisco suffered a sudden engine failure over San Francisco and had to make an emergency landing; on March 7, a United Airlines flight to Japan was struck by a passenger while taking off from San Francisco International Airport. A tire suddenly fell off and fell into the airport parking lot, causing damage to the car; on the 8th, a United Airlines flight from San Francisco to Mexico City made an emergency landing at the Los Angeles Airport due to a hydraulic problem; on the 11th, a United Airlines flight from Australia to San Francisco made an emergency landing. A United Airlines flight was forced to return to Sydney Airport due to “maintenance issues.”
In view of the fact that the door of an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 Max aircraft fell off at high altitude during the flight on January 5, causing panic among the passengers of the above-mentioned United Airlines aircraft.
However, aviation experts believe that this series of incidents on United Airlines is just bad luck, not a systemic problem, and passengers should not be prevented from taking its flights.
Scott Miller, a lecturer at San Jose State University and a captain at a major U.S. airline, pointed out that many of the recent incidents involving United Airlines involved different types of passenger aircraft, and the situation factors were not similar. at. “In my opinion, there is no systemic problem with these incidents, they occur continuously over a short period of time, it’s just random bad luck,” he said.
In all of these emergency landings, no one was injured and the crews were able to land the aircraft safely at the nearest airport. “None of this is just luck,” Miller said.
Miller pointed out that federal design standards prohibit the construction of commercial aircraft that may have a “single point of failure” (a single problem that can cause an overall failure), so the aircraft has sufficient tools to land safely on the ground. For example, a passenger aircraft that suffered a hydraulic failure was equipped with two additional independent hydraulic systems and was able to continue flying safely.
Over the past week or so, United Airlines passenger planes have made multiple emergency landings, mostly on flights to and from San Francisco Airport. (Associated Press)
