Boeing 737 plane makes emergency landing minutes after takeoff with 50 passengers on board, in latest safety error

A BOEING 737 plane with 50 passengers on board was forced into an emergency landing just minutes after takeoff.

The United Airlines plane lasted just a few minutes in the air before complaints of a wing irregularity were reported in Boeing’s latest safety error.

The plane left Fukuoka Airport on Japan on Friday morning around 11:45 a.m. before he was quickly forced back, police said.

No one was injured in the great ordeal.

Police are now investigating the accident to find out what caused the emergency landing.

The runway at Fukuoka Airport was temporarily closed for routine safety checks following the emergency landing.

This is now the fourth Boeing-related incident in just the last three days, after The Sun reported about a burning plane skidding off the runway in Senegal.

A Boeing 737 jet was seen in flames as terrified passengers were forced to jump to the ground for safety at Dakar airport.

All 73 passengers were evacuated and fifteen of them were injured – four of them seriously.

Hours earlier on Thursday, another Boeing jet suffered a technical problem, raising safety concerns and causing more headaches for the aircraft giant.

A total of 190 people had to be evacuated after their Corendon Airlines flight had a tire burst during landing at Gazipasa Airport in Alanya, Turkey.

This all comes just days after a Boeing cargo belonging to US courier service FedEx’s plane nosedived on Wednesday.

Aircraft 767 was traveling from Paris to Istanbul and threw sparks as it crashed onto the runway.

Several other errors have already occurred this year, when a Boeing 747 was captured on camera bouncing on the runway.

The Lufthansa Airlines plane was seen dramatically hitting the ground twice at Los Angeles Airport (LAX) before the pilot gave up and aborted the forced landing.

Two days earlier, a wheel fell off a Boeing 737 fully loaded with passengers as smoke billowed from the commercial jet.

Dramatic footage showed the plane careening down the runway before being forced to make an emergency landing shortly after takeoff.

The various errors occur at a time when the aircraft is gigantic and faces controversy due to safety issues.

Boeing has always kept its jets safe to fly.

REPORTER SPEAKS

The botched landing is just the latest in a series of controversies surrounding Boeing as investigations continue into the company.

Brave whistleblower Sam Salehpour described witnessing workers jumping on plane parts to force them to fit into “defective” aircraft.

He went on to say that he was told to “shut up” and threatened by Boeing bosses after constantly raising serious safety concerns about how the planes were being assembled.

Salehpour attended back-to-back bombshell US Congressional hearings this week while testifying against his employers.

The engineer worked at Boeing for a decade and claims he tried to warn them about his concerns during much of that time.

At the congressional hearing, Salehpour said, “I’m not here today because I want to be here.

“I was ignored, I was told not to create delays, I was told, frankly, to shut up…

“My boss said, ‘I would have killed anyone who said what you said’ during a meeting.”

Its biggest problems have been the way some of the jets have been assembled over the past three years.

In one of the shocking claims, he said: “I literally saw people jumping on pieces of the plane to align them.

“I repeatedly produced reports to my supervisor and Boeing management that gaps in the 787 were not being properly measured or adjusted in two major 787 joints.”

Salehpour found that in 29 planes, major gaps were reported but not resolved a staggering 98.7% of the time.

In over 80 percent of cases, unclosed gaps ended up being filled with debris, he told Congress.

Another former Boeing employee turned whistleblower, John Barnett, 62, gave evidence against the company just days before he died from a “self-inflicted” wound.

He was providing evidence of alleged wrongdoing at Boeing to investigators working on a case against the company at the time of his death, according to the BBC.

In 2019, he told reporters that he saw workers purposely installing substandard parts on aircraft on the production line.

Barnett alleged that defective parts were mishandled and sometimes lost or reassembled in planes from the company’s scrapyard to meet production deadlines.

He also claimed to have discovered major problems with some of the planes’ oxygen systems, which could cause one in four masks to not work properly.

He also says his complaints were ignored.
