Pretty cool passengers on that plane, PC. That one guy has his headphones on!

They are now reporting that the plane was repaired a year ago:

“Records show cracks were found and repaired last year on the jet that made an emergency landing on Friday”

My in-house aeronautical (structures) engineer suspects a “blacksmith” repair, and using the word blacksmith is not a compliment in this case.

Only if it’s in the white zone.
