A United Airlines flight was forced to make an emergency landing after the aircraft's wing came apart mid-air.  Passengers on the domestic flight from San Francisco, California, USA, to Boston, Massachusetts, noticed the wing falling to pieces while in the air.  The Boeing 757 was forced to make an emergency landing in Denver, Colorado on February 20.   Kevin Clarke, who recorded the footage, says: "Can't wait for this flight to be over.  "They've got another plane waiting for us to continue to Boston and the nightmare will be over."
