The jet had left Texas with 249 passengers onboard before it was forced to touch down at LAX just hours later.

Fire crews rushed to the airport runway to meet the jet as it touched down on Wednesday evening.
Just weeks ago another wheel dropped from a packed Boeing plane during takeoff – and was also forced to land in Los Angeles.
