Orlando, United States: A United Airlines flight traveling from Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport to Orlando International Airport experienced a significant mechanical issue upon landing on Sunday afternoon, resulting in one of the aircraft’s nose wheels detaching and temporarily blocking the runway, authorities confirmed. United Airlines Flight UA2323, operated with an Airbus A321neo registered N14502, departed Chicago at approximately 8:55 a.m. CST and was scheduled to arrive at Orlando International Airport (MCO) at 12:35 p.m. EST. Shortly after touchdown on Sunday, January 18, video footage shared on social media captured the aircraft making contact with the runway under what appeared to be challenging weather conditions. During the landing sequence, one of the forward nose wheels detached from the aircraft and rolled off the runway surface. Eyewitness video shows the aircraft’s main wheels touching down, followed by a series of uneven bounces. The aircraft veered slightly, and the separated wheel can be seen rolling away from the plane. The aircraft ultimately came to a stop on the runway. United Airlines reported that there were 200 passengers and six crew members on board at the time of the incident. Despite the severity of the landing and the mechanical failure, no injuries were reported. Passengers were safely disembarked and transported to the terminal via buses after being unable to reach the gate normally. Immediately following the incident, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and airport authorities issued a ground stop at MCO, temporarily halting all departing and arriving flights to allow emergency crews to secure the scene and clear debris. The ground stop was later adjusted to a ground delay as operations gradually resumed later in the afternoon. Orlando International Airport is one of the busiest travel hubs in Florida, and the runway closure led to delays and logistical disruptions across scheduled flights during peak travel hours. Preliminary accounts noted gusty and windy conditions at the time of landing, with reported wind gusts above typical operational norms. While weather may have contributed to the severity of the landing, authorities have not confirmed whether it was a causal factor in the mechanical failure. United Airlines and the FAA have not yet released detailed technical findings, but the aircraft has been removed from service and is undergoing maintenance inspection. Investigators are reviewing whether the failure was due to the hard landing dynamics, mechanical fatigue, weather stress, or a combination of factors. Federal aviation safety teams are continuing their examination of the incident. Official reports from the FAA or the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) are expected in the coming days to clarify the precise mechanical cause and any contributing conditions. Final findings will inform whether industry safety procedures or maintenance protocols require updates.
