Who is responsible for a mechanical issue on an United aircraft? United.
You can't entirely blame UA on this issue. I doubt the latches on a 777 are designed to withstand -30 degree blasts. Airlines that fly up North typically have specially designed aircraft to deal with these harsh weather conditions. Heck where I was from, when the weather hit -10 it was a near guarantee the power windows would stop working!
