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.
I meant more that it was a surprise to the crew that two windows were missing. I’d expect something so obvious to show up on a pre flight check
I think it’s more shocking that the flight attendants didn’t notice.
Based on the 321 size and regulations in the route, it should have had a minimum of 2. Usually, that would mean one in the front and one in the back galley. Even flying mostly empty, they would usually be fully staffed at 4.
How did they not hear the noise? They should know exactly how loud that plane should be.
Besides, windows.that somehow reflect differently than their neighbors should have been spotted with the walk around
That’s a whole other good point.
