"United Airlines Flight Safely Evacuated After Runway Incident, Aviation Expert Clears Boeing of Blame"

Aviation industry consultant Scott Hamilton stated that Boeing may not be at fault for recent in-flight incidents involving its aircraft, including a runway excursion and tire issues. He attributed these incidents to human error, runway conditions, and airline maintenance, emphasizing that they are not indicative of broader Boeing issues. Despite this, the incidents have added to the company's ongoing safety image struggles, particularly following previous incidents such as the 737 MAX crashes. Concerns about Boeing's quality control persist, highlighted by a recent panel blowout during a flight, indicating that the company still has work to do in addressing safety and maintenance issues.
