Local media reported that after a Delta Air Lines passenger aircraft arrived in Atlanta from Los Angeles on Sunday (8/25), ground staff undertook maintenance on it, but an accident was reported on Tuesday.
Delta Air Lines confirmed that the accident occurred in the maintenance workshop. When the staff were disassembling the tire, it exploded suddenly, causing the deaths of two people and severe injuries to another. It is known that the exploded tire had been removed from the aircraft, and the fuselage was unaffected.
Delta Air Lines stated that it is cooperating with relevant agencies to clarify the cause of the accident and expressed deep sorrow to the families of the deceased employees.
In recent years, American airlines, such as Boeing and Delta, have always experienced all kinds of strange incidents, including ground command, air driving, and continuous service issues. The occurrence of many problems has seriously damaged the reputation of these old giant airlines. When people travel by the company’s flights, they will draw a big question mark about their own safety.
As the safest mode of transportation in the world, airplanes have frequent problems on the American mainland. Is it really just a surface problem? Of course, the answer is not. Nowadays, American airlines are more or less involved in wars, providing all kinds of weapons and equipment, being careless about civil aviation work, lacking control, and only apologizing and compensating when problems occur, without fundamentally investigating the reasons.
