Might have lost a wheel on takeoff. And oakland united 35. Yeah, were going to. Were talking with company and theyre trying to determine if the issue, if it was indeed our, tire. We dont have any indications here on board that it was, but for right now, were going to continue at 35. North just called me, said someone on the ground reported tiktok. They think they saw something come off the aircraft. They werent 100 sure if it was a tire or something else. They sound remarkably calm. In the middle of all this, the plane made an Emergency Landing about two hours later at Los Angeles International airport. It came in safely and no one on board was hurt. As we mentioned, abc seven News ReporterTara Campbell joining us live now at San Francisco international airport. Tara, what are you hearing on the ground there . Yeah, larry, were live here. Just outside the hertz parking lot where that massive tire landed and bounced after falling off the plane again. Video shows the exact moment that tire fell from United Airlines flight 35 as it was taking off on its way to osaka, japan, at around 1130 this morning. This video, courtesy of the cali planes youtube by some miracle, the tire didnt hit any people. But look at the damage to a fence and some of the cars in the parking lot. We were able to get up close and you can see windows broken out, mirrors broken off. A witness sent abc news a video as police got to the scene. Hey, are you going . It literally just happened. There are so many police here now. Its crazy. So these two cars, and they found some of the landing gear over there. They think it was a united 777. Now, i also spoke to a couple of people here on the ground in the parking lot. One sfo worker, one Security Guard who works in the parking lot itself. It is pretty scary to think about, i feel like i might have got hit too, if i were doing my, you know, my car count during that time. But maybe something. Call your call. Yeah. Its not my. Yeah. So im glad i didnt. Nothing happened to me or anybody, but. Yeah its scary, you know. Thanks, scott. Everybody is safe. But just the vehicle now, this frightening incident forced the plane to divert to lax, where it made a safe landing around 1130, around 130 this afternoon, with 235 passengers and 14 crew members on board. And we are reaching out to some of those passengers who are now stuck in los angeles waiting for that plane to japan. And hopefully we can get you some more details. Live at 5 00, karina and larry. Much for that update. And an sfo worker shared a couple of photos with us showing te in the parking lot r aer it dropped from the sky. That tire weighs 265 pounds, so it could have been devastating if it had fallen in a crowded area or on sobodyn this photo,ou c see a crowd of concerned investigators just starting to gather. And this is a really good perspective for just how big that tire is. So lets show you exactly where this happened. Again, we know the flight took off from runway 28, right . 28 are okay. The plane lifted off the ground, tire falls off, and as it plummets to the ground, hits several vehicles and the sfo employee parking lot before ultimately bouncing over a fence, then landing in the hertz rental car lot near the end of the runway. That tire has now been removed from the parking lot. You can see in this video here a white Truck Driving away with a tire in the back. Weve not been told where investigators are taking that tire to. In a statement, the faa said United Airlines flight 35 landed safely at lax after the crew reported a landing gear issue, adding the faa will investigate. Abc news aviation analyst john nance says incidents like this are rare. He explained the situation on our Afternoon Program getting answers about an hour ago by six tires on each side on the main struts of this triple seven boeing 777, and there are times when mechanically something in the interface of the tire and the strut uh interact, and it either overheated or something was wrong and broke off. But, again, its a very unusual situation. Nance says the loss of a single tire will not have any impact on the ability to land the plane, but added that pilots will try even harder than normal to make as soft of a landing as possible. East bay congressmember mark desaulnier, who serves on an aviation subcommittee in the house, also reacted to todays news. He says this is just the latest incident to prove there is a lot more work that needs to be done on aviation safety. Overall, theres pressure on the industry and theyre cutting corners. In my view, whether its maintenance, whether its production, whether its overworking the pilots and uh the air traffic controllers. So were were pushing back hard here in congress and myself up on the committee saying this isnt acceptable. Your, your your risk to the flying public is not acceptable. Congressman desantis says the committee is working on the faa reauthorization right now and is making sure that agency will respond to some of these problems. This is the latest in a series of issues involving boeing planes. On monday, flames were seen shooting out of one of the engines on a united flight from houston to fort myers, florida. The airline says this incident was caused by some bubble wrap that got sucked into the engine. The flight turned around and landed safely, and in january, a door plug came off an alaska Airlines Flight headed from portland to southern california. It managed to land safely, and no one on board was hurt in its investigation, the ntsb said the 737 max nine plane left boeings factory missing. Key bolts. All of the planes were grounded so that further inspections could be done. Stay with abc seven news for continuing coverage of this latest sfo incident. Well have more on abc seven news at five, as well as abc seven news. Com. The state of things today, the state of the union and the state of the city. We begin with the state of the union happening two hours from now. Local lawmakers are looking ahead to the president tackling an issue with roots right here in the bay area. Abc seven News Reporter zach fuentes joining us live in the south bay bureau with more zach. Yeah. And that issue is Artificial Intelligence or ai. And biden and lawmakers are tasked with regulating ai and bringing in Better Privacy protections, but also encouraging growth and development, which, of course, is key here in silicon valley. I got to speak with bay area congresswoman anna eshoo and experts about what theyre hoping to hear from the president , Artificial Intelligence continues to grow faster than the legislation lawmakers are creating to regulate it. They already have an executive order. You know that, which is great. They already have the, you know, the chip act , which is will help with the technology. We have the bill of rights for ai. So but we need now to have it all in one form of this is the policy of the government. Lawmakers have been at work. Bay area congresswoman anna eshoo has coauthored the create ai act, the bipartisan bill would establish a National Resource for ai researchers from diverse backgrounds to use not just those from giant tech companies, as we dont make the effort to bring in all sectors. Uh its going to leave america behind. Congresswoman eshoo will be at the president s state of the Union Address thursday. Her guest, doctor feifei li, codirector of the stanford humancentered ai institute. I dont know what the president is going to say, uh, but if hes going to talk about Artificial Intelligence, it will come from, the knowledge of what, Stanford University and its human centered, ai institute is doing. Doctor li says the institute has worked to keep the us a leader in the space of ai, particularly in keeping a healthy ecosystem of ai development, research and education, one where its not only workers in Large Tech Companies thriving in ai development, but the Public Sector too, like nonprofits and academic communities, especially in the past two years. What is really clear is that the private sector world is accelerating. Really rapidly with the ai in terms of large amount of resource data, large models and the Public Sector is being left behind. So doctor li says any powerful technology can be a double edged sword. She and her colleagues at stanford are still encouraged by the possibilities of ai. Every few hundred years or now, it seems to be accelerating humanity. Discover or invent a new tool that truly changes life. And ai is one of the. Now, the House Speaker and minority leader put together an Artificial Intelligence task force. Just a couple of weeks ago, and congresswoman eshoo was appointed to it, she tells me that shes hoping to have some recommendations on guardrails relating to ai by the end of the year. Meantime, lawmakers and experts are going to be listening very closely to the president s address tonight, right now, live in the south bay bureau. Zach fuentes, abc seven news. Zach, thank you.

And now to San Francisco and todays state of the city address. Mayor london breed came out strong after a few wins on election day. Abc seven News Reporter suzanne fawn has a closer look. Karina mayor london breed says shes tired of the negativity and the citys successes are not a fluke. Breed says shes sending a strong message to critics. San francisco is not wearing the shackles of your negativity any longer. Breed hopes her critics will hear her message loud and clear that San Francisco is making a strong recovery during the state of the city today, mayor london breed highlighted her administrations big wins on Public Safety. Breed talked about the crime rate being the lowest in ten years. She says thats thanks to bait cars shutting down drug markets in the tenderloin and soma, and cracking down on auto breakins. We doubled the number of drug arrests in 2023. Retail theft and car break ins plummeted. Breed says voters passing measure e will help in a number of ways. We will be installing new Public Safety cameras in high crime areas, deploying drones for auto theft, car break ins and other crimes on the issue of drug addiction and fentanyl use. Breed thanks voters for passing measure f if we can provide cash assistance to more than 5000 people, then we can screen recipients for Substance Use disorder and get them into treatment on homelessness, breed says since shes been mayor, the city has helped more than 15,000 people out of homelessness. We did it by increasing our shelter capacity by 66. Breed says just last year, the city helped more than 1500 people into shelter from encampments. The number of tents on our streets are down by 37 this past six months. And when it comes to downtown recovery, the mayor says the city is recruiting new businesses. Breed says. I alone is projected to add 12,000,000ft■ s of office spacen 2030. Breed also introduced a new effort. So our new initiative 30 by 30 30,000 more residents and students downtown by 2030, breed says. Laws already remove and reduce fees and barriers for office conversion, and they pave the way for more housing and more people to move downtown. And while critics point to San Franciscos ongoing issues around retail theft, car break ins, drug addiction and Affordable Housing, the mayor says San Francisco is making progress. We are a city on the rise. We are a dragon taking flight now lets soar, San Francisco. Lets soar and mayor breed faces a tough reelection battle. Her three serious opponents say her administration has failed to deal with drug crimes, vandalism and theft. But breed says she has several victories with the measures in the primary election. And she says San Francisco will host the super bowl in 2026. Fifa world cup in 2026, and the nba all star game in 2025. Live in the newsroom suzanne fawn, abc seven news. Suzanne, thank you. Abc seven news insider phil matier joins us now. Mayor breed is obviously running for reelection, and the state of the city address sounded just as much like a Campaign Speech as anything else. Would you agree . I would, and thats how things have evolved. Initially, the state of the city address was, well, we have this much money, we have this much that we have to take care of. We have this and that. And then it became more aspirational. I see a Bright Future and were going to do this. Were going to do this, were going to do that. Ofttimes it didnt get done, this was now its turned more political, just like the state of the union tonight. Both are incumbents facing tough reelection bids later this year. So yes, i would say this was a combination state of the city and stump speech for mayor breeds reelection. Well, youre the incumbent. You get to do what you want when you get in front of the microphones. But we should point out mayor breed did win on a couple of propositions on election day. So how significant is that in terms of her reelection . Because it seems like at least you know, well, some people are leaning more towards heres the problem for the challenge for the mayor, that 65 to 70 that voted for more police powers, that voted for a screening for drug use as a condition for getting on welfare, that voted for make it easier to convert downtown offices into residentials are among the people that are not happy with the mayor. They agree with what shes talking about, but they dont feel that shes implemented it. So she has this. Youre right, political win to her back. And shes had it for the last couple of years, as we saw with the recall of the District Attorney chesa boudin, who was too progressive for her likes the recall of the school board. But her challenge is that wind is going in her direction. But can she get the sails up and actually show the ship moving . Shes got to get those cameras up in those intersections. Shes got to get those license readers up. Shes got to be able to point at something other than statistics, because people believe their eyes and whats around them, and not necessarily what is on some computer program. Yeah. Well, i mean, you know, last week we talked about a poll that came out that showed a very high negativity rate for mayor breed, and it remains to be seen 71 of the voters say they have an unfavorable opinion of her. Thats by the chamber of commerce poll, which would be an ally of the mayor. So yes, its very difficult situation. But, you know, its not easy to turn a battleship. San francisco didnt get where it was overnight. It took decades of just increased movement in that direction. Shes trying to right that ship even though she was riding on it earlier. But there is a feeling out there, possibly, that something new needs to happen. Well, well see. Shes got until november to get the battleship, as you say, turned around. I know youll have much more with karina at 530. Yes all right. Thank you. Phil, part of 580 is still closed this afternoon following a homicide in nearby pleasanton city.
