A United Airlines flight lost a wheel during take-off from Los Angeles but managed to land safely in Denver with no injuries reported. The incident involved a Boeing 757-200 carrying 174 passengers and 7 crew members. This marks the second such incident for the airline this year. The airline is investigating the cause of the wheel detachment. In a previous incident in March, a United Airlines Boeing 777-200 lost a tire mid-air after takeoff from San Francisco, landing safely in Los Angeles. United Airlines has faced a series of incidents recently, including emergency landings and technical issues with its planes. The airline attributed a $200 million hit to its earnings in the first three months of the year to incidents like the mid-flight blowout on a rival airline that led to the grounding of some of its Boeing planes.
