A United Airlines flight, with 165 passengers on board, traveling from San Francisco to Boston, was diverted to Denver on Monday after experiencing a wing issue. A passenger on the flight, Kevin Clarke, reported hearing a loud vibration during takeoff and witnessed damage to a wing slat near the engine. The Federal Aviation Administration is actively investigating the incident that led to the Boeing 757-200 aircraft being diverted. Despite the unsettling occurrence, all passengers remained unharmed, and United Airlines swiftly arranged for a replacement aircraft to transport customers to Boston. The plane safely landed in Denver on Monday evening and was scheduled to arrive at Boston Logan International Airport early Tuesday morning. Reports indicate that the pilot informed passengers about the issue with the wing approximately 45 minutes into the flight before making the decision to divert the aircraft.
