The aircraft involved, N26123, was flying from Denver as flight UA627 when it concluded its flight with a broken nose. - Catherine Madureira
You’re blaming Boeing for the tires?
Do you have sources to back up those claims?
Stuck brakes?
Blown tires upon landing are not that uncommon on airliners, and not just Boeing-manufactured planes.
In the 1970s, I was on a plane that blew 4 tires upon landing. The airline put us on a different plane for the next leg of the flight. The second plane blew one tire at the next stop. This time, the airline changed out the tire and continued to the third destination. One of the stewardesses said that she had never experienced anything like that before.
I don’t recall that five blown tires on a three leg flight from Michigan to San Francisco made the news, though.
It was American Airlines, if anyone is interested.
Accident: United B752 at Newark on Jun 15th 2019, hard landing
By Simon Hradecky, created Saturday, Jun 15th 2019 20:08Z, last updated Saturday, Jun 15th 2019 20:43Z
A United Boeing 757-200, registration N26123 performing flight UA-627 from Denver,CO to Newark,NJ (USA) with 166 people on board, landed on Newark’s runway 22L at 12:56L (16:56Z) but bounced and touched down hard causing damage to the nose gear and forward fuselage. The aircraft came to a stop with the nose gear off the left runway edge, still on the paved surface of the runway. The passengers disembarked onto the runway via stairs.
A passenger reported the damage is even visible inside the cabin where the nose gear came up into the cabin.
The airline reported the aircraft experienced multiple flat tyres upon landing in Newark. The aircraft became disabled.
Maybe the pilot slammed it on the runway rather than landing it. Maybe it caught a wing-tip vortice at the last second. Don’t jump to conclusions.

Hope they had AAA.
That said, blown tires on landing could be representative of poor operator (Untied Airlines) policy on replacing tires nearing end of life. Or it could be indicative of a bad cross-wind landing and/or maybe an extremely hard landing. Even professional pilots have a bad day once in a while, land with too much crab in and over stress the tires/gear.
I realize Boeing is a lightning rod for abuse right now, but really... If someone were driving down the road and their tire blew out, or their windshield cracked...would you immediately blame Ford/Chevy etc. ???
I was on a flight about a yr ago that made a “go-around” in perfectly good weather and a pilot friend flying with us explained the difference between “hands-on vs. autoland landings.....He could tell it was going to be a “hands-on” landing before we made the go around...To him it was no big deal as he said new Peter Pilots need hands on practice to keep their skill level up...
Im sure some commercial pilots on this site can explain it better then I can...but I can say an old helicopter crewchief in VN.....I could tell the difference between A/Cs and P/Ps with my eyes closed...
Sounds like a hard landing; nothing to do with the quality of Boeing’s product.
Disclaimer - spent 34 years in Boeing aircraft with no complaints; the last 5 in the left seat of the 757-200 (a little less than 3,000 hours).
Probably used Firestones.
And the Airline wants Me to return My Tray and Seat back to the closed and upright position before Landing for My Safety.
What’s that Sir ? The Cockpit Table has pushed up through the floor right next to You ? OK, Thank You and I’ll let the Flight Engineer know about it.
Saw a heading at OANN on Boeing wanting to reduce testing of new aircraft.
How does your foot taste?
Was the Mooch returning from that direction? No wait, she is over seas somewhere sucking someone else’s teat. Her and the head halfrican grifter are on vaca on someones else’s dime.
sabotage??
Probably the flight shouldn’t have originated in Denver.
Or a vicious cross-wind landing.
