    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    BOSTON - A United Airlines flight from San Francisco to Boston was diverted to Denver on Monday because of an issue with the plane’s wing - and a worried passenger on board captured the apparent problem on video.

    “Just about to land in Denver with the wing coming apart on the plane,” Kevin Clarke says in a video shared with CBS News.

    Clarke said the wing issue became apparent after takeoff from San Francisco.

    The passengers were put on a different plane and landed in Boston early Tuesday morning.

    Boeing has been under scrutiny since a door panel on a different kind of aircraft, a 737 Max 9, blew off during an Alaska Airlines flight in January.

    Earlier this month, the head of the FAA pledged to use more people to monitor aircraft manufacturing and hold Boeing accountable for any safety rule violations.
