summary:
A Delta plane flying from Orlando to Atlanta lost part of its wing Sunday – but luckily, the flight landed without incident.
The panel came undone as Flight 2412 was in mid-air, leaving gears and wiring uncovered. As a precaution, the crew declared an emergency on approach, and the plane was towed to the gate after it landed, Delta spokesman Anthony Black told ABC News. No one was injured.
David Watterson, a passenger on the flight, was dozing off when he says he heard a big boom. He noticed a section of the plane's wing exposed and hydraulic fluid leaking.
"All the passengers were remarkably calm," he said. He says he did not feel any immediate danger, but it was "concerning to see a big chunk of the plane missing."
Watterson said the crew members handled the situation professionally. Officials are now inspecting the plane.

Analysis: This is so crazy and scary. I wonder what happened to the plane. hopefully this happened on accident because this was a serious matter
I'm very happy that none of the passengers were hurt and glad they stayed so calm. I know I would have started crying and already seeing my life flash before my eyes. Its very good that all of the workers stayed in control and professional.

  1. That would be so scary! I'm with you, I don't think I would have been able to stay nearly as calm as all of the passengers did. I'm so glad no one was injured.
