China Eastern Airlines Flight 586 Incident

1998 September 10. The landing gear of a McDonnell Douglas MD- 1 1 passenger plane broke down while carrying out China Eastern Airlines Flight 586 (a scheduled flight from Shanghai to Beijing and then to Los Angeles). The plane then returned to Hongqiao International Airport for an emergency landing, and all the crew members were safe. This is the first forced landing of a civil aviation plane in China.

It is understood that the cause of the air crash of China Eastern Airlines Flight 2 173 has been found out, and the pin of the front landing gear of the aircraft broke, which led to the failure of landing gear retraction. According to the appraisal of relevant experts, it is considered that the content of a certain metal in the aircraft pin is too high and the composition is unreasonable, which leads to cracks in the metal.
