Boeing had a rough time with four of their aircraft experiencing a variety of problems this week alone including one incident alone on Friday.

United Airlines Boeing 737 experienced gear failure, leading to a less-than-perfect landing at a runoff at George Bush Airport in Houston, Texas, Friday, Express reported. (RELATED: ‘We Have An Emergency’: Plane Forced To Land After Losing Door During Flight)

The gear failure reportedly occurred during the last 30 minutes of the flight and led to the plane running off the runway during its landing, the outlet noted. Video of the incident showed the airplane apparently stuck in a ditch near the runway with its nose up, Express reported. All passengers of the flight thankfully managed to evacuate the plane safely and there have been no reported injuries from the ordeal, according to the outlet.

A video of the awkwardly landed aircraft was tweeted out by Vicki O., a travel enthusiast who took the footage, under the caption “So this happened today…”

The footage showed the Boeing aircraft off the runway in an uneven slanted position and people wandering on the airport’s runway. People were also captured in the clip exiting the awkwardly positioned aircraft.

This incident followed a different Boeing aircraft bound for Japan that was forced to make an emergency landing Thursday at Los Angeles International Airport, according to the New York Post. The aircraft, which carried 235 passengers, lost one of its six tires shortly after taking off from San Francisco International Airport, forcing the pilot to make the emergency landing. The fallen tire reportedly caused damage to several cars. Fortunately, no one was injured in the incident.

The aircraft losing a tire was captured on video that was tweeted out by BNO News.

The video also showed the cars damaged by the impact of the fallen tire hitting a parking lot. Two Boeing aircraft experienced problems on Monday. One aircraft was forced to return to George H. Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport less than 15 minutes after takeoff after flames erupted from the plane’s engines according to the New York Post. No one was hurt during the incident.

Another Boeing plane experienced engine failure over the Pacific Ocean during a flight from Hawaii to California, SimpleFlying.com reported. The aircraft managed to land in California and there were no fatalities or injuries during the flight, the outlet noted.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
