United 787’s sudden altitude drop injures passengers and crew
By Howard Hardee
Several passengers and crew were injured when a United Airlines-operated
Boeing 787-8 experienced “unexpected aircraft movement” on January 24,
forcing the jet return to Lagos, Nigeria.
The Washington, DC-bound widebody aircraft – operating as flight UA613 –
suddenly dropped in altitude, according to accounts posted on social
media.
Shared images show the aircraft’s cabin strewn with refuse and overhead
compartments splattered with what appears to be liquid from beverages.

Air India Incident Marks First-Ever Boeing 787 loss: what we know so far
12 June, 2025

Initial video footage shows the aircraft struggling to gain altitude
moments after departing runway 23 . A MAYDAY call was declared soon
after, before the aircraft tragically came down in the Meghani Nagar
residential area at around 13:43, just five minutes after departure. The
aircraft reached an altitude of just 625ft, according to FlightRadar24
data
Eyewitnesses and video evidence appear to confirm that the landing gear
remained extended throughout the brief flight, raising early speculation
around a possible engine failure and subsequent hydraulic system loss.

Airlineratings aviation safety expert Josh Wood states:
"With the facts we have available now, there seems to be no other likely
explanation than engine and hydraulic failure, based on the clear video
footage. There is no visible explosion before impact, and we can
discount weather factors such as ice. The aircraft had its gear
seemingly deployed, which suggests they possibly could not be
retracted—pointing to a possible engine and subsequent hydraulic
failure. The flaps also seem to be retracted which we would not expect
at this stage of the climb. This in itself raises many questions, and of
course, we’ll have a clearer picture as more information becomes
available and the investigation progresses."
Nagarjun Dwarakanth, a licenced commercial pilot and editor at India
Today TV states:
“The combination of extended landing gear and retracted flaps at 600
feet is highly irregular and points toward a possible cascading
technical failure or a sequence of emergency actions by the crew in
response to a malfunction. The final loss of altitude and apparent stall
likely resulted from insufficient lift and excessive drag, leaving the
crew unable to recover before impact.’”
