At about 17:45 Taipei time, I was running FlightView to check out the United transpacific flights. Sure enough, I found UA845, SFO-TPE, which was over the Ryuku (sp) Islands, but it was only at 0 ft and 500 knots. Something must be terribly wrong. :O

Any of you guys know what happened?

BTW, Here's the info:
Departure
Airport: San Francisco, CA
Scheduled Time: 1:55 PM, Feb 18
Actual Time: 2:17 PM, Feb 18

Arrival
Airport: TPE
Scheduled Time: 8:05 PM, Feb 19
Actual Time: 6:22 PM, Feb 19 (Estimated)

Status: In air at an altitude of 0 feet and ground speed of 500 KTS
Equipment: B772

Here's the map:

I'm not sure if it shows or not.

Not expecting anything right away. That wasn't long ago.

And here's the flight status from United.com, saying that it has arrived:

I appreciate your help

I'm guessing it's just a simple data error problemo, seeing that the reading was zero, which could be equated to be a null value.

Btw, welcome to flyertalk, but, you probably wanted to post this in United (at best).

I would re-post this - the Flyertalk prison matrons (aka Moderators) are now very active in searching out every conceivable reason for closing threads.

I'm transferring this thread to United as it has obviously been misposted here.
