Very lucky no one was killed on the ground as well by the looks of it.

I’d have bent over and kissed my arse goodbye. Very scary I should imagine. Well done the pilot / pilots.

There’s some jobs too big for WD40, however, put the fire out, lashings of duct tape, and you’re good to go

 

[OldTaff]

Saw that and thought “glad I’m not going on a flight for a while”

Duct tape fixes everything.

Never know when it’s your time do you ? Which is a good thing really as we’d all panic like #### wouldn’t we ?

 

[Dave]

It's not the sort of thing you want to see when looking out of the plane window

You should have been ,they could of carried on ,wd40 and hammer would have sorted it

Whenever I see a pic like that it reminds me of an episode from the original Twilight Zone series, where a passenger keeps seeing a creature (I remember it as looking a bit like Bungle from Rainbow) trying to rip the wing panels off mid-flight. I can’t remember anything else about the episode or how it finished, might have to see if I can find it and re-watch it.

That episode has been done twice, I think one was with William Shatner and the other John Lithgow. One was a film the other an episode from the series ! Basically the gremlin flies off at the end and the person is taken to the asylum !!

They take the hammer off me in the security checks

That's only a scratch. Here's one I helped repair many years ago.
