United Airlines has experienced a series of flight issues over the past week, culminating in a total of six incidents that have raised concerns about the airline's safety protocols. The most recent incident involved United Airlines flight 830, which was forced to return to Sydney shortly after takeoff due to a hydraulic and maintenance problem. The aircraft was en route to San Francisco when the crew reported a problem and had to turn the plane around. Passengers observed the plane dumping fuel before it landed safely back in Sydney. This incident is part of a troubling pattern for United Airlines, which has seen four emergency landings in just one week, including a hydraulic failure, an engine fire, a tire loss on takeoff, and a plane skidding off a runway. An investigation is currently underway to determine the cause of these recurring issues.
