This Monday, February 19, 2024, a new incident affected the aeronautics giant Boein. During a connection between San Francisco and Boston, the aircraft lost part of its wing in mid-flight.

Scandals have continued to accumulate for the manufacturer Boeing for many weeks. Door tearing off, windshield cracking, wheel detached… This Monday, it's a video taken by a passenger who comes to renew the controversy, where we can seeing a piece of wing coming off little by little, reports TF1 Info.

"Should I tell a crew member ?& quot;

"We will finally land and the nightmare will end", these are the words of the person who took the images of the incident in mid-flight, visible below.

The technical problem occurred while the Boeing plane was in the air between San Francisco and Boston in the United States and caused a big scare for the 165 travelers on board of United Airlines. It was one of them who found out what was going on. "J&# I opened the window and this is what the wing looks like.Should I be worried?Should I tell a crew member ?"< /em>, he wrote on social networks.

Seeing the hole on the wing of the aircraft only getting bigger, the passengers alerted the crew, who ordered a landing towards the nearest airport. Luckily this one went very well.

Unfortunately, for the American aircraft and aerospace manufacturer the black streak continues. Technical problems have been multiplying for several weeks, even months, and point to manufacturing defects, but also flaws in the giant's quality control.
