A United Airlines jet bound for Mexico had to turn around and make an emergency landing back at SFO Thursday morning after blowing a tire during takeoff, according to the FAA. This was United Airlines Flight 1189, bound for Los Cabos International Airport in Mexico. United Airlines issued a statement explaining the situation, saying "Customers deplaned via airstairs on the tarmac and were bused to the terminal. We've arranged for a different aircraft to take them to Los Cabos later this afternoon." In 2025, there were at least two incidents of United planes clipping each others' wings while taxiing, one in May and one in September.
