Hamilton says he had forgotten what it's like to lead after finishing second ahead of Perez
The Chicago-headquartered United Airlines was hit hard by a class action lawsuit filed by passengers who went through a near-death experience in one of its flights due to an engine explosion.
The suit filed on Monday describes the near-death experience on February 20 felt by 231 passengers on a direct flight from Denver to Honolulu, Hawaii, as the right engine of the Boeing 777 aircraft suddenly exploded at 10,000 feet, Xinhua news agency reported.
Following the explosion, heavy metal debris fell on a heavily-populated Denver suburb.
Engine parts in the size of pick-up trucks landed in Broomfield, a suburb of 68,000 people, located 25 miles (40.2 km) north of the Colorado capital, but authorities reported no deaths or injuries.
The filing alleged "negligent infliction of emotional distress," and asserted that United Airlines "failed to properly inspect and maintain its aircraft that resulted in the engine failure".
"These passengers are lucky to escape with their lives, as the flight managed to land with no serious physical injuries; however, it left these passengers in fear for their life for nearly 20 minutes," the lawsuit stated.
"Nearly all of them experienced the emotional distress that would be a natural human emotional response to a near-death experience," said Chad Schnell, from Indiana who filed the suit, expected to exceed $5 million.
The failed engine resulted in "scattering pieces of the engine over Colorado and leaving passengers to a horrifying view of a fire on the wing", the lawsuit noted.
