Deception
(30%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the title of the article implies that a tire fell off a United Airlines plane after taking off from SFO and caused damage to parked cars nearby. However, this is not entirely accurate as it does not mention that the wheel was part of an aircraft's landing gear strut and had been designed to land safely with missing or damaged tires. Secondly, the article quotes aviation lawyer Mary Schiavo stating that this event is rare and comes with older planes which implies a sense of danger when in fact there are redundancies built into the design of these planes to ensure safe landing even if one tire fails. Lastly, the article does not disclose any sources.

Deception
(30%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that United Airlines Flight UAL35 lost a tire during takeoff from San Francisco International Airport but fails to mention where this happened or what caused it. This omission implies that the incident was not significant enough to warrant further investigation and could be seen as an attempt to downplay its importance. Secondly, the author quotes Doug Yakel, a spokesperson for SFO airport, stating that there were no injuries but fails to mention any damage done by the fallen tire or how it affected operations at San Francisco International Airport. This omission implies that the incident was not as serious as it could have been and could be seen as an attempt to minimize its impact. Lastly, the author quotes LAX representative Dae Levine stating that operationally this didn't have an impact but fails to mention any potential safety concerns or risks posed by landing a plane with missing or damaged landing gear. This omission implies that the incident was not significant enough to warrant further investigation and could be seen as an attempt to downplay its importance.

Fallacies
(85%)
The article contains several fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by citing the Federal Aviation Administration's statement without providing any context or evidence for their investigation into the cause of the accident. Additionally, there is a dichotomous depiction of no injuries on the ground and operationally not impacting LAX as if they are mutually exclusive when in fact one does not negate the other. The author also uses inflammatory rhetoric by describing damage to vehicles without providing any information about their extent or severity.
The Federal Aviation Administration said it will investigate the cause of the accident.

The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the title of the article implies that a tire fell off during takeoff when it actually happened after takeoff. Secondly, the sentence 'A United Airlines flight loses a landing gear tire as it takes off from San Francisco Airport' is misleading because it suggests that this was an incident that occurred during takeoff but in reality, it happened after. Thirdly, the article states that no one was injured and the runway was briefly closed to clear debris which implies there were no damages caused by the incident when footage shows a damaged car in a parking lot following the incident.
