A Japan-bound United Airlines flight was forced to divert to Los Angeles International Airport when the plane lost a tire after taking off in San Francisco Thursday, the airline confirmed.
The falling landing gear from United Flight 35 damaged several cars in the parking lot of San Francisco International Airport after the Boeing 777-20 took off around 11:30 a.m., according to the airline and airport officials.
Shocking footage shows the plane lose one of its six tires on the left side as it ascended into the air.
The Boeing 777-200 plane, which was heading to Osaka with 235 passengers, 10 flight attendants and four pilots on board, safely landed at LAX, United Airlines confirmed to The Post.
