A Boeing 737 was forced to make an emergency landing minutes after taking off in the latest of several safety incidents to rock the embattled aircraft manufacturer. 

Flight 166, a United Airlines 737 jet carrying 50 passengers, took off from Fukuoka Airport in Japan and headed for Guam landed just minutes after taking off after one of its wing flaps malfunctioned. 

It marks the fourth safety issue for Boeing planes in the last week including when when its tyre burst upon landing at Gazipasa airport yesterday.
