Newly-released flight data reveals a San Francisco-bound United Airlines flight went into a steep dive shortly after taking off from the Kahului Airport, coming within almost 800 feet of impacting the ocean. The incident happened in mid-December of last year, but is only coming to light now.
United Flight 1722 plunged toward the ocean moments after taking off from Kahului Airport on Dec. 18. Aviation website “The Air Current” looked at publicly available information to determine the aircraft climbed to 2,200 feet before it suddenly dived ― at a terrifying decent rate of nearly 8,600 feet per minute.
The pilots had to pull up, leading to a climb with forces more than 2.7 times the force of gravity.
