Yesterday on Sunday, a flight from Orlando, Florida to Atlanta, Georgia had technical difficulties. The Airline was Delta. On the Delta Airline Flight a panel of one of the wings was lost. The access panel had been lost during flight according to the crew members aboard the plane as reported by Delta Airline spokesperson Anthony Black. Black later said that the accident was "highly unusual". The issue with the panel of the wing didn't affect the ability to control the plane, but is being looked up in investigation.
The thing the entire thing was just a pure unpredictable occurrence. It couldn't have been predicted. The most important thing of the incident is that the plane landed safely and every passenger was safe.

Accidents involving planes is extremely scary. But once you think about it, the chances of a plane crashing compared to a car crashing are so much less. We are just so used to being in cars all the time. Plane accidents like this are rare, but it's unfortunate and frightening when it does happen.
ReplyDeleteYikes! Good thing it wasn't a big deal. But I do wonder what happened to make it come off the wing like that.
ReplyDeleteIt's relieving that the plane ended up being okay! Technology is amazing, but it is by no means perfect. I hope in the investigation they can learn how to prevent this problem in the future.
