Leading edge slat. Not desirable, and also not the end of the world.

“United confirmed that the plane had a problem with a wing slat.”

Yep. That would definitely qualify as a problem. Glad they landed OK.

Wow, I would have loved to have seen all those passengers landing safely. That would have been a sight. Wonder if they landed in formation or in a line.

...after the plane’s wing started “coming apart” mid-flight.

Midflight? That would put the aircraft at least 30,000 feet up...maybe higher.

Some birds can fly up to 37,000 but I would seriously doubt this was a bird strike.

I am old enough to remember when Aeroflot had many mechanical issues with its planes.

I guess that is what happens when a country is under COMMUNIST LEADERSHIP.
