Boeing continues to face a series of unfortunate events, marking an incredibly rough week for the aircraft manufacturer.
United Airlines alone has experienced four incidents in just over a week.
Most recently, a Boeing 777-300 departing from Sydney, Australia to San Francisco had to return due to a hydraulic fluid leak, with 183 passengers and crew on board but landed safely.
And a day after an American Airlines flight was forced to make an emergency landing in California Wednesday evening after its pilot reported a possible mechanical issue, the airline said.
Flight 345, which took off from Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas, reported the issue with the Boeing 777 plane and ultimately landed at the Los Angeles International Airport at approximately 8:45 p.m. on Wednesday without any incident, American Airlines said in a statement on Thursday.
This was the latest in a string of mishaps, including a Boeing 737 making an emergency landing in Texas after an engine caught fire on March 4.
Three days later, a 777 jumbo jet lost a tire after takeoff in San Francisco, causing damage in the airport parking lot and leading to an emergency landing in Los Angeles.
The next day, a Boeing 737 MAX 8 skidded off the runway at George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston, fortunately without any injuries to the passengers or crew.
Meanwhile, a 787 Dreamliner operated by LATAM airlines experienced a terrifying nosedive during a flight from Sydney to Auckland, injuring 50 passengers.
In the midst of these incidents, the tragic suicide of Boeing whistleblower John Barnett, who had exposed production abuses and was in a legal battle with the company, has raised questions. His sudden death has sparked doubts about the nature of his passing.
Additionally, surveillance footage from work on an Alaska Airlines 737 Max 9, where a door segment was torn off during a flight, has mysteriously disappeared, raising suspicions of a cover-up.
Boeing finds itself in the midst of one of its worst corporate crises, with shares plummeting by ten percent in the last three weeks.
