United Airlines Faces String of Emergency Incidents on Flights to Mexico City

A San Francisco-bound United Airlines flight, carrying 150 passengers and five crewmembers, experienced a hydraulic leak and a small amount of smoke around the landing gear as it approached SFO, but was able to land safely with emergency vehicles standing by as a precaution. This incident is the latest in a series of mechanical problems involving United Airlines flights, including a Japan-bound flight losing a wheel, a Sydney-bound flight turning back due to maintenance issues, and a Mexico City-bound flight diverting to LAX due to hydraulics problems.
