UA Flight 0106 LA to Chicago was diverted to Denver when a repair on the right wing fell apart. Lots of noise, but no problem landing. Crew was great. Got a quick replacement plane in Denver.

  • No problem my ass..Get out the super Glue.....

  • larger jets mostly have a hollow leading edge that hot, (engine)compressor bleed air is pumped into. it's usually a nice shiny unpainted surface (paint would burn off). i think electric heaters are mostly used on props and pitot tubes.

  • Then main reason that a replacement plane was so fast to respond was because Denver (my home airport) is a MAJOR hub for United!

  • @joshphs no, worse. the repairmen were taliban :)

  • I never heard of this incident before. This video shows a MAJOR problem. The leading edge of the wing is a critical area. This was no minor problem. If the pilots had inadvertently extended the leading edge slats, with one of them being damaged, the plane could have easily flipped over and crashed into the ground. Was this the result of outsourced maintenance?

  • I knew I forgot to tape something!

  • and they say concorde was a liability!

  • we bought this plane from walmart see its holding up perfectly fine

  • i hate united.

  • dumb piece of shit

  • That's nothing compared to an engine fire.
