Delta Air Lines flight 520 from New York JFK to Los Angeles had a piece of the aircraft fall off during climb out this morning, with emergency equipment meeting the flight on arrival. Delta substituted another Boeing 767, and passengers were sent on their way - expected to land in Los Angeles three and a half hours late.
Is there a surge of incidents like this or is it just being reported on a lot more?
It’s being reported on more.
Frequency might be up slightly too, but these things have been happening on the regular since as long as there has been passenger planes.
Sounds like all the more reason to do something about it
Does it?
