United Airlines from Hawaii to SFO nearly plunged into Pacific Ocean, data shows
A United Airlines flight that departed Hawaii for San Francisco late last year came just 775 feet from colliding with the Pacific Ocean, data shows.
The flight was scheduled for nonstop service from San Francisco International Airport to Chicago O’Hare International Airport, but had to divert.
Federal prosecutors said Dasilva got into a confrontation with an Alaska Airlines flight attendant, cussing, yelling and threatening to kill him.
A flight attendant, with the help of two passengers, had to use zip ties to restrain the woman, officials said.
The pilot diverted the flight into Kansas City instead of going to Chicago because he was concerned for the safety of the passengers.
