The daily flight to PVG unfortunately only made it to the 19L/1R intersection this past Independence Day. Booked to capacity, the aircraft had barely started its journey when somebody noticed a fuel and/or hydraulic leak. The plane stopped between 1L/1R, shutting the runways down for several hours and switching operations to 28L/R as rescue crews assessed the situation and took care of the spill. About 3-4 hours after the incident started, pax were evacuated into SFO Parking shuttles, the greenish blue bus seen between the nos. 1 and 2 engines, and driven to gate G92 to re-enter the terminal. Since many of the drivers had the holiday off and the number of buses were limtied, United reached out to SamTrans, the local public transit, and had them run buses out on several trips to and from the airplane. Fuel is still dumping out of the right wing in this photo. It was towed to a remote parking spot once evacuated.
