The plane, departing from Los Angeles, lost a tire during takeoff. The latter fell in the parking lot of the San Francisco airport, damaging several cars.

With 249 people on board, the plane had to make an emergency landing. This emergency landing comes two months after an incident involving another model from the American aircraft manufacturer. At the beginning of January, a cap holder on a Boeing 737 MAX 9 detached from the cabin a few minutes after takeoff. Investigations have been opened by the American authorities in charge of aviation security.
