The plane was a replacement for the original aircraft assigned for the flight, which had returned earlier due to loss of cabin pressure.
United Airlines revealed what went wrong on Flight 201.
A problem with the equipment supply cooling fan on board the Boeing 777 caused the problems which required the pilots to divert to Midway to land there in the dark. The passengers waited in a gym until the replacement flight arrived.
The plane that flew in to Midway to pick up the passengers also brought parts and a repair crew. The plane with the bad fan was fixed, and returned from Midway Island back to San Francisco.
In fact, it was returned to service.
Now we’d like to hear about the passengers getting their luggage back.
