Boeing 787 Dreamliner makes emergency landing
LONDON (MarketWatch) -- Technical problems forced a Boeing 787 Dreamliner flown by United Airlines to make an emergency landing on Sunday. "United flight 94 from Houston to Denver returned to Houston Sunday due to a brake indicator issue," the airline said in a statement quoted in media reports. "Following standard operating procedures, as a precautionary measure, the flight landed in emergency status." It's the second unscheduled landing for an United Airlines Dreamliner in a week, after a flight from Denver to Tokyo had to land in Seattle due to an oil filter problem. Earlier in June, a glitch in the anti-icing system forced a Japan Airlines Dreamliner to turn back to Tokyo. The entire 787 fleet was grounded in January for four months by regulators investigating battery problems after a fire on a Dreamliner.
