Beleaguered Boeing has experienced yet another problem with one of its planes – after one was forced to land due to hydraulic fluid spewing from its landing gear area.
The incident – only the latest from the embattled manufacturer – occurred Monday, and is the fifth involving a Boeing plane in the span of seven days.
Now under investigation, the forced landing happened as the San Francisco-bound 777-300 embarked from Sydney, with fluid filmed leaking from its undercarriage.
On Saturday, an ex-Boeing staffer-turned whistleblower was found dead by an apparent suicide, after saying he witnessed second-rate parts being fitted on planes.
Moreover, following the recent incident Monday – and another hours before that saw 50 passengers injured on the firm’s flagship 787-Dreamliner – Boeing lost more than $4billion overnight, after shares dropped more than 4 percent Tuesday morning.
The FAA has since revealed the firm failed 33 of 89 audits during an exam of Boeing’s 737 Max – a model it had been planning to update with the long delayed Max 10.
After the incident Monday – and the several before – United Airlines requested the firm halt work on the unreleased jets: an apparent sign of carriers’ diminishing faith.
