A United Airlines Boeing 777-200ER returned to New York's Newark airport on
Wednesday after sparks and debris fell from the plane.
 
Sources state that it is a fault in the hydraulic system of the aircraft. The
aircraft (registration: N787UA) returned safely to the departure airport after
the incident. UA149 was en route from Newark to Sao Paulo when sparks were
emitted from the aircraft shortly after departure. The aircraft then circled
over the Atlantic Ocean for some time before landing safely at New York Newark
an hour and a half after departure.
 
The plane is currently on the ground. The aircraft is scheduled to fly to San
Francisco again this Friday.
 
The same aircraft made an emergency stop at Schiphol at the beginning of this
month when smoke was detected in the aircraft during take-off.
