A United Airlines flight dove 1,400 feet in under a minute shortly after taking off from Hawaii — and came within just 775 feet of the Pacific Ocean en route to San Francisco.
During the climb, the passengers and crew were subjected to forces nearly 2.7 times the force of gravity before the plane reached its cruising altitude of 33,000 feet, two people familiar with the incident told The Air Current. The controller cleared the flight to its next navigation waypoint about 190 miles east of Maui shortly after it reached an altitude of about 3,000 feet, The Air Current reported.
The Federal Aviation Administration said the pilots notified the agency about the incident as part of its voluntary safety program.
