An incident happens on March 4. A plane is going to Osaka, Japan. But it loses a tire during takeoff.

The plane must land in Los Angeles. United Airlines prepare another plane for the passengers. Luckily, no one gets hurt. The tire falls on cars in the airport parking lot. It damages some cars.

This incident is one of several problems with Boeing planes recently. All of these incidents concern United Airlines. Some people worry that it is not safe to travel with United Airlines.

Difficult words: takeoff (the moment when a plane leaves the ground), passenger (a person who travels on a bus, train, plane, and so on).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

How has this recent incident and others with Boeing planes affected people's perception of United Airlines' safety measures?
