La FAA abre investigación tras dos fallas de neumáticos en O'Hare

La Administración Federal de Aviación informó el 18 de agosto que había iniciado una investigación preliminar tras dos fallas de neumáticos en aviones que aterrizaron en el aeropuerto O'Hare de Chicago el 13 de agosto. Los incidentes involucraron a un Boeing 737-900 de United Airlines que abortó el despegue cuando explotaron dos neumáticos del tren de aterrizaje derecho, y a un Boeing 737-800 de American Airlines que sufrió una explosión de neumático al aterrizar, lo que obligó a evacuar a los pasajeros sin que se registraran heridos.

El vuelo de United a Phoenix evacuó a los pasajeros de forma segura tras el abortaje, mientras que el vuelo de American requirió el uso de escaleras y el cierre temporal de la pista. Ambos hechos motivaron la investigación de la FAA.
