>> from the bay area's local news station. you're watching kron. 4 news at 6. >> now at 6, another issue on a united airlines flight coming out of sfo. this time a panel discovered missing from the plane after it landed. good evening, everybody. i'm vicki liviakis. i'm ken wayne. the faa says the boeing 7 37

landed at an airpo ird, oregon this afternoon. >> kron four's dan thorn joining us live from sfo tonight with the latest on what's going on there. dan. >> yeah, can. as you mentioned that plane taking off here from sfo and this airport seems to be the common denominator in all of these issues that have been going on with united that flight landing scheduled landing at medford airport. it was not an emergency landing, according to united, but the problem that was going on with this plane was that once they did their investigation and they're examine ation of they found that there was an external panel that was missing in medford airport spokesperson telling kron 4 that they were forced to pause operations on the runway to make sure that there wasn't any damage on the runway. they didn't find any. but the big problem is that they didn't find this we did reach out to united who confirmed that the damage to the boeing 37 did happen. they say there was no indication that the damage happened during the flight which had more than 130 passengers on board and

another going to be doing an investigation to find out what went on here. and they're also going to be examining the plane to make some repairs before putting it back into service. as you mentioned, the faa is investigating this as well. and we caught up with some passengers here are going to be taking some united flights tonight. and they say that this is concerning that this keeps popping up and they're just confused as to why this keeps happening. >> i think it's a little bit the scary the fact that this keeps coming up all the sudden. and i i don't know if it's because we haven't been aware and now we are. i always said, and it's it's an immediate issue that we're dealing with. >> today's problem after what happened here yesterday when the plane landed and there was a hydraulic leak which caused some smoke to come up from the landing gear. also last week, the video that went viral of a japan pound japan down flight leaving sfo. we'll end up

falling often causing some damage after landing in one of these service employee parking. lots out here earlier this week, a plane that was supposed to be coming to sfo from australia had to turn around because of mechanical issues. so these problems just keep popping up in terms of this most recent flight. we don't know where on the plane. this external panel came from, still working to get some more information on that. again, we reached out to united and they say in all of these cases, they're maintaining that safety is their top priority. ken and vicki, back to you. >> all right, dan, thank you for that. obviously, a lot more to learn about what happened here to this incident leading to a list of issues that united that seem to be growing day by day. and we are, of course, getting closer to the busy travel season. retired airline pilot doug price. joining us now live. doug, thanks for being here. there are some pictures circulating out there on the internet of this panel that's missing. looks like it's maybe a 3 or 4 foot by 3 foot section of aluminum skin on

the exterior of the plane. can you describe what is actually missing if you've seen those pictures in and how that could have fallen off the plane. >> i have that area of the aircraft a little bit of negative pressure. so what it was is it is that is not structural part of the aircraft, but rather a piece of aluminum backed some honey comb that's designed to smooth the year. going over the aircraft, which improves the right to the passengers and fuel efficiency and clearly from the pictures, at least a portion of it came off the aircraft. >> so, doug, you're a pilot. let me just cut to the chase. would you be nervous taking the helm at a? a plane like that out of sfo, a united plane. >> no, that's this is a very minor incident in the grand scheme of things. we're looking at a series of

incidents, all san francisco centric this aircraft in particular flu last night on a red-eye to nashville came back to san francisco this morning before it went to mit for it been flying for roughly 9 hours before this incident why it happened? we don't know. we'll have to see whether the part came off, whether they were attachment isis that somebody missed when they were doing a walk around to the aircraft or whether, in fact, he was just simply a a 25 year-old part that failed because it was old and what will determine when we look at that piece is very close there are a lot of sensors in the cockpit that will tell the flight crew if there's something amiss. >> with this fall under that category. what they know that piece of the external fairing ed blown off. >> no, they wouldn't have any indication in the cockpit that this came off. the indication

might come from somebody in the cabin would feel a vibration or a flight attendant might or feel something and let the cockpit nobody in this it apparent that that did not happen. so to follow up on that flight from sfo to medford fairly short a hour and a half or so roughly if that if this had been a longer flight and that a piece had been missing. >> could the damage have started to grow and spread from that basic tear and the exterior of the plane? >> no, i don't believe from looking at the pictures and reviewing the flight track, it looked like the speed of the aircraft was just the same weather would have been on a long flight for a short flight. so consequently, it's they would that would have been no difference based on the length the flight. it would have been a momentary increase in speed or load. could have affected. and just

so people know what they were looking at there. if we can put that back up, the green line was the altitude of the plane. 30,000 feet. you can see the 30,000 on the left in the green was level on its way to medford. and then the yellow line is the speed of the aircraft that you see. 475 miles an hour. so up around 500 miles an hour. >> when it started to descend into medford. >> so, you know, this is just one a string of as our reporter pointed out, sfo seems to be the common denominator. when you look at what do you think you think the glass you just wear and tear on the planes. and, you know, or sabotage or what? what what are you thinking? >> oh, no, there's there's there's this is a a and older aircraft. it's a 25 year-old aircraft. when starts year crafted approach age and they have so many takeoffs and landings and so many times they're pressurized. and then

the you start to have metal fatigue. you start to wear and tear on the aircraft. that's why these aircraft go through a complete overall cycle about every 6 to 7 years. and they're supposed to take everything apart. when i see everything they go down to extreme the skins, they are taking all these pairings off there, inspecting the fehring's these aircraft go through a significant amount of maintenance and they should be catching these things. yeah, what we're learning now is that we have to be more aware of these things as they go through maintenance and double checking and triple checking them. well, okay. let's just hope that their extra special. >> careful on subsequent flights that nothing really catastrophic has happened so far south. yes, thank you for your insight, doug. a price. retired airline pilot with the his expertise along with our pilot here. can't thank you,

their tools that but now there's an open question whether that signatures it has a little legitimacy. >> to the signatures. >> but brenda grisham with the campaign to recall price doesn't see the hand count as a negative. even better. so there's. >> no question that we have what we need, that the people signed. the petition is the petitions legal, the signatures legal. so that's a plus for us. >> but supporters of price are also raising questions about the registrar of voters decision to take additional time to do a hand count. and if you look on the chart of the current rules, >> there's no section intit that says that if it doesn't, if you can count after 10, 10 days get extra 30 days that that doesn't exist in meeting. county charter fitzgerald says the campaign to keep price in office is now talking to lawyers. >> to see if this extra time his legal. but they say that doesn't mean they won't accept

the results. we're going to abide by the decision of the county. we're going to trust them. what we're trying to impress upon folks because the question has been asked, is that there are legal questions over what's happening right now because we are in and the presidents of situation that the county hasn't faced before. we reached out to the alameda county registrar of voters for clarification is just how much time they have to count those signatures. >> they didn't get back to us. vicki can. >> and the north bay, a 15 year-old was arrested after police say he helped steal a car in vacaville. all thing you can see they're caught on camera. police say they tracked the teen down to monterey when he was arrested and they say they found a loaded gun on him. he was booked into jail on robbery and gun charges. the car was found empty in the late. whoa,
