The 81-minute flight was routine, and touched down in Houston on runway 27 at 7:58AM, well ahead of its scheduled 8:28AM arrival. Unfortunately things then quickly took a turn for the worse.
The plane exited at the very end of the runway, but somehow ended up in the grass, with the left rear gear collapsing.
Friday’s incident comes one day after a United Airlines jetliner bound for Japan made a safe landing in Los Angeles. It lost a tire while taking off from San Francisco.
Videos show the plane losing one of its six tires on its left-side main landing gear assembly seconds after takeoff.
The tire landed in an employee parking lot at San Francisco International Airport and smashed into a car, shattering its back window.
No one was injured in the incident, according to an aiport spokesperson.
