this is the flight path on flightaware today. the airline says the boeing jet landed safely and all passengers have been rebooked. but people who saw the incident say there was fluid pouring out of the plane during takeoff and a retired commercial pilot and regional vice president of the california pilots association says his best guess is an issue with hydraulic fluid. that hydraulic fluid >> the ability for the landing gear to go up and down. it provides said movement of the flight controls. provides a sorry controls. the brakes, primarily flight controls and landing. here are what it's there for. >> on friday, united flight from sfo to mexico city also had hydraulic issues and had to make an emergency landing at lax. and it's hard to forget the day before that was last thursday when a tire fell off a united jet shortly after

stress-inducing. but i think the proof bn the fact is, although these incidents are occurring in all the cases, the aircraft because of that bringing of the cruise and the backup systems designed in the airplanes themselves are leading to successful outcomes. usually with the aircraft parking at the gate. certainly we need to look at the causes for these and help prevent them from occurring in the future. but the fact that we've had such a successful outcomes tells me the safety systems are actually working pretty well because at the end of the day, these all these aircraft or parking safely at the gate after the incident. >> okay. all of the incidents mentioned above are under federal investigation. meanwhile, boeing is promising changes after failing nearly 40% of its faa audits. the federal agency conducted a six-week review of the company's manufacturing processes for the 7.37 max jetliner. after that door plug
