The Boeing 737-900 was departing Chicago\u2019s O\u2019Hare International Airport for Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport on Thursday when the incident occurred. United said 161 customers and six crew members were on board the 18-year-old plane. All passengers and crew evacuated safely on the runway before being bused to the terminal. The pilot allegedly slammed on the brakes, while a pilot on a nearby plane said he saw \u201cchunks of tire\u201d scattered across the runway, and another aircraft was arranged to take the passengers to Phoenix. In a statement to the Daily Beast, the airline said passengers arrived in Phoenix at 7:24 p.m. local time. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) confirmed that it is investigating the cause of the two blown tires. The incident comes just days after another United Airlines flight carrying 175 passengers to Munich, Germany, was forced to abort its journey and make an emergency landing on Monday after mid-air structural damage compromised the cockpit. The FAA confirmed that the crew made an urgent call after reporting a \u201ccracked windshield,\u201d prompting an official investigation into the incident. The flight was ultimately canceled, leaving passengers stranded at Boston Logan International Airport. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=5452\">NBC Sports Host Faints Live on Air in Terrifying Moment<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Read it at <span>ABC News<\/span><\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A United Airlines pilot aborted takeoff after the plane suffered two blown tires, according to air traffic control audio cited by ABC News.
