Three planes at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport suffered tire blowouts in a single week—each incident occurred during takeoff or landing, but no one was hurt. Passengers heard loud bangs and rhythmic thumping before being evacuated via stairs and bussed to the terminal. While tire failures aren’t unheard of—factors like heat, wear, and aircraft weight can play a role—the FAA is now investigating manufacturing and maintenance records to rule out systemic issues. Experts stress that air travel remains exceptionally safe, with tens of thousands of flights operating daily without incident. If evidence points to a widespread problem, the NTSB could ground fleets until safety is restored.
