That's just a flesh wound and not too vital.
I'm more excited about that thicc reporter trying to hide those two glazed hams out back .
DEI standards have been in place since 1964 …this isnt anything new, so DEI has nothing to do with it. DOnt care who the aircraft maker is, wings and slats, dont just break…that was hit with a good impact …did you all not see the Airbus batteries that caught fire mid flight? All makers are having issues…
Minor damage. The wing, the important part, was fine. The slat was messed up. Much ado about nothing.
Def. a lightning strike, no doubt. Lightning, there is a telltale melt hole right there in the metal wing.
I love how reporters know absolutely nothing about aviation! It’s not the wing. It’s the slat. Do some research.
Not a big deal…
The slats not the wing
I hope the wing fuel tanks are ok, lol.
Look if RU agents are at work…putinka has long dollar
If it happened in the middle of the flight, how could it be a bird strike? How many birds fly at 38,000 feet?
what plane is that?
Its the Boeing 757 200.
Bird strike on take-off? Only time they'd have that wing slat extended AFAIK.
I think that whole slat could have fallen off and it would have flown fine.
Some Duct Tape Should Fix That Damage Right Up, Then the Plane Can Go Up and Then Down Really Fast.
Delamination from wear and tear.
i’m not flying commercial anymore.
That is damage to a leading edge slat that probably happened because of water intrusion into the composite panel.
Composite slat begins automatic disassembly midflight.
News people: catastrophe!! Wing breaks!! (and after doom and gloom reportage: "ah, experts tell us that's a wing slat. The engine slats and landing gear slats were unaffected by this event.")
Ed: glad this wasn't a 737 with this kind of reportage. Can you imagine…
757 is old aircraft.. they must be retired that aircraft very soon
Thats not the wing it's the right hand inboard leading edge device aka slat. Most caused by delamination to to Kevlar composite material
It’s dangerous to have these people up here in the sky with so many manufacturing issues.
A lot of speculation.. who signed off on this, and the slat behind the dropped one looks pretty questionable. Whose autoclave are they using Betty Crocker?
Ashley, Why must to have to hold that Tablet ?
The DEI person that inspected the wings said, Everything is fine
