A U.S.-bound plane took off from London last month with four damaged window panes, including two that were completely missing, according to U.K. air accident investigators.
No one was injured by the window malfunctions, which appear to have been caused by high-power lights used in a film shoot, the U.K.’s Air Accident Investigation Branch reported in a special bulletin published Nov. 4.
Why use an actual in-service aircraft and not a mock-up or a fuselage from a retired or otherwise out of service aircraft?
It was probably more cost-effective.
Probably won’t be now that they’ll have to fix the aircraft.
