A RYANAIR plane with 200 passengers on board had to turn back after tape used to patch up a pilot's window came loose.
Passengers watched in horror as ground crew put the tape around the edge of the windscreen shortly before take-off from Stansted, Essex, to Riga, Latvia.

The sheeple wouldn’t have had to watch in horror if 200 of them had rather been watching from the terminal. I wouldn’t have just sat there!

Passengers watched in horror as ground crew put the tape around the edge of the windscreen shortly before take-offLemmings. They should have been ex-passengers headed out the door to the nearest bus stop.

Should have used NASCAR’s 200 mph duct tape.

It’s an aluminized tape called “SPEED TAPE”.
It’s been around for decades. It IS NOT “Duct Tape”, and mechanics have used it without incident forever. They use it for quick fixes, like a whistling window. NASCAR uses it to patch crashes.
I remember flying on a United 727 simply covered in the stuff, (And Red Tags), just a couple of days before they were officially retired.
