Pretty wild adventure on UA35 from San Francisco to Osaka on February 2nd, where comms between cockpit and ATC/United stopped working and they had to resort to ACARS and then CPDLC text messages. Four hours and fuel dump later they returned back to SFO.

The last bit about catering is pretty amusing.

My first reaction was that they wanted to reduce catering to minimize turnaround time -- then I remembered it is UA -- Kirby probably called the airport directly to make sure no one would get two meals....

Passenger: I’d like my meal now.
FA: I’m sorry, we left it behind in the aircraft that went MX back at SFO.

Listening to LIVE ATC for SFO as we speak with both landings and departures on 10L
UA2 SIN-SFO went around* and is diverting to SJC and according to the pilot "UA2 going around again" so looks like maybe twice?
*UA2 was the 4th of 6 go arounds in a row

UA2 got lucky that it only diverted to SJC.

I was also tracking UA2 this morning — looks like they went around once at SJC before landing. So three total missed approaches !
