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.
Huh, to be honest, when i read this, it didn’t connect with me how the lights made window panes disappear. were the window panes missing before the flight? It doesn’t seem like the window panes fell on anyone or nearby property.
“One shattered window pane was later recovered from the runway during a routine inspection.”
