A United Airlines Boeing 737 Max 8 experienced a gear failure and veered off the runway into the grass after landing at Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport, marking the third incident involving United's Boeing aircraft in a week. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is sending a team to investigate the incident, which led to the evacuation of 160 passengers. Earlier in the week, a United Boeing 777 lost a wheel after takeoff, and another flight suffered an engine fire. These incidents have raised safety concerns and prompted calls for a Congressional hearing on United Airlines' recent spate of mishaps, specifically targeting CEO Scott Kirby. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has announced investigations into the incidents, while United Airlines has faced scrutiny over its maintenance practices and safety record. Additionally, a Mexico-bound plane made an emergency landing in LA, marking the fourth emergency for United Airlines in a week.
