A United A319 crew had their hands full on Saturday after the brakes on the left main gear apparently locked up either as they were taking off from La Guardia or shortly after. According to the Aviation Herals, they diverted immediately to Newark instead of taking the 128 passengers and three cabin crew to Houston. It’s not clear how the issue manifested during takeoff from La Guardia but the crew declared an emergency due to hydraulic problems. They headed straight to Newark and the left mains blew on touchdown.
