Is the sixth incident involving a united flight since monday of last week. No one noticed the panel was missing until after the plane had landed.

Its there where crews discovered the missing panel. Did somebody fail to close something which would have been a Human Factors uh that it was a fatigue or do we have a situation here that was somehow in maintenance . Those questions will all have to be answered. In a statement, united says it will thoroughly examine the plane and perform repairs and conduct an investigation to know how the damage occurred. Boeing saying in an email its deferring comment to united about the carriers fleet operation, also including some information about the boeing 737 800, which has been in operation for 25 years. You know, one of the questions that ive been asked so many times over the years is how long can a jetliner stay in service indefinitely . Weve got b52s now that are older literally than any aircraft commander flying them in the air force. As for the 139 passengers and six crew members on board, they likely werent at any risk. I dont think we had any real danger here in the air. We had danger of anybody who something might fall on. They came off an aircraft. Thats always a big concern. The big concern for the faa as well as all of us. The incident comes on the heels of a handful of mishaps with united flights in the last few weeks, including a wheel falling off a flight, departing from sfo. But the experts say would be passengers shouldnt be worried. Its not only safe to fly, its so much safer than even driving to and from the airport. And thats not just statistically true. It really is true. Tara campbell, abc seven news. This is just the latest in a number of incidents involving united planes.

Then a tire fell off of a plane as it took off from San Francisco International Airport for japan. It heavily damaged at least one car in an employee parking lot.

Sandhya in the east bay, an update on a story we brought you earlier on abc seven news. Alameda rescue workers have recovered the body of a man who was previously seen struggling in the water around 430 this afternoon over by ballena bay. The alameda Fire Departments divers and swimmers attempted to rescue the man, but were able to unable to get to him before he went under. The accomplice. Accomplice in the 2020 fatal oakland Federal Building shooting will spend the rest of his life in prison. A judge sentenced Robert Justice today to life without the possibility of parole. Justice drove codefendant Steven Carrillo to oakland during protests over George Floyds murder. Both were followers of an antigovernment group. Carrillo opened fire on two guards, killing one as justice drove off. The killing set off a week long manhunt that ended with carrillo killing a Santa Cruz County deputy. He pleaded guilty two years ago and is serving a 41 year prison sentence. New developments in the federal womens prison in dublin. A judge is taking an unprecedented step and bringing in outside oversight. Fbi agents raided the place days ago, as we reported, a special master will oversee the facility as part of a lawsuit over ongoing claims of sexual abuse. The bureau of prisons has never before faced this level of scrutiny. The prison is at the center of a years long investigation into sexual abuse and misconduct by staff. At least eight employees have been charged with abusing inmates. The fbi would not share details about mondays search, just that they were conducting court authorized activity after more than a month helping injured civilians in gaza. A doctor from the south bay is back home tonight. Doctor Mohamed Subhi says life in gaza was like being in an apocalyptic horror movie with mass casualty incidents every day. We really worked with very scarce resources to be able to save lives, save limbs, half of the patients that i saw were children, many of whom lost their parents, family and friends greeted subhi at San Francisco International Airport today. Very warm reception. He spent the last five weeks at a Field Hospital in gaza, treating injured civilians with minimal supplies and staff. He says the hospital was built to take a few dozen patients a day this week. They helped nearly 1000 people a day. Its magnitudes more than what i expected, and so, still trying to process what that means for all of us as, as a global community, we doctor subhi says going to gaza was an easy decision to make, and he feels guilty, though, about leaving. He hopes to go back and continue his work there. New at 11. Farm workers are taking matters into their own hands this weekend. Weve reported extensively on the poor conditions they often live in. Thats something theyll address at a convention in san mateo county. Abc seven news south bay reporter Lauren Martinez spoke with organizers. Hola somos el comite de plantation de La Convencion de campesinos. These organizers are spreading the word about a first of its kind farm worker convention. The event was planned by farm workers for farmworkers levantar la voz. Rogelio martinez, a farm worker in pescadero, says the convention this sunday is to make the workforce known and to raise their voices. The host organization, puente and coastside hope, are expecting hundreds of farm workers from Half Moon Bay, pescadero down to watsonville to attend. So its really the union of an entire region coming together to learn, but also to share about their stories and their lives. There is pride in the Farming Community and problems. Primero es martinez listed decent housing for farm workers as the number one problem farmers living in shipping containers surfaced during the Half Moon Bay mass shooting in january of 2023. Last september, this property in pahharow in Monterey County was cited several times by code enforcement. Lack of heating, roach infestation, lack of ventilation, missing smoke and monoxide alarms are just some of the violations. We were able to see both the very gross gross neglect. Raymond cansino was the ceo of community bridges, a multiservice agency. He says the 17 unit converted apartment complex housed farm workers and their families. Many, if not all, were undocumented. One unit was redtagged days later, cansino says the Property Owner decided to evict everyone one around thanksgiving and christmas. It completely undermines and destroys peoples kind of sense of, groundedness. Cansino says some of those tenants are seeking civil litigation against the landlord. Until we have legislation at the statewide level that mandates a certain percentage of agricultural, farm worker housing be created on farm worker land, i dont see a solve for this. And so i hope that more of these gatherings across sectors, across people of color, are uplifted, are created, and i hope that we improve the wellbeing of those around us in the south bay.

I know what time it is. I know whats going on. I mean, weve heard about the civilian times, so i immediately just start firing back and trying to get anything out of him to prove that he has something to stand on. Because i know in my heart of hearts is absolutely nothing there. They tell me. They questioned whether the guard even worked at the embarcadero. They thought he might be a vigilante. Do you even work at this . Pardon me. Do you work at this property . Yeah can i see, like, Building Security . Can i see, like, any documentation that you work here .

Ali and kincade tell me they went shopping in sephora anyway. Okay, so were going to go inside now because you have no reason to stop us. All right. You go in, you steal. And they came out to find an sfpd officer waiting at the door, but they just walked by and return to work. Both say they never saw mike koppel before that altercation.
