Avro RJ85 Passenger Terror as Plane Wing Falls Off after Take-off from London City Airport

Slight exaggeration by Yahoo. Planes do not get to 3000 feet and then land safely after a wing falling off!
Turns out it is some sort of deflector or fairing, not a crucial component like a wing.

Aircraft lands safely, no one hurt shock horror!

I love 'aircraft incidents' it brings all the armchair pilots, amateur accident investigators out in droves. Brandane is of course correct...

I'm of to Vienna on Monday if that helps ....

I'm off to England in a couple of hours, statistically better chance of winning the lottery than being killed in a plane crash, that's if I did the lottery.

And you are much more likely to be killed in a car crash on the way to the airport

Oh, and seriously: yahoo news?

That's ok then as I'm taking the bus.

I have only once travelled on a plane. That was to America. Wish I could do it more often. I love flying. The take off. The buzz of it. And when the plane is preparing to land and it sways and dives. Amazing stuff.

As the old saying goes, any landing you can walk away from is a succesful one.

I'll be flying down the M60, M62, M56 and M53 everyday next week, so I don't rate my chances much, nice knowing y'all.

I get a real kick out of it too. I really enjoy take off and landing, but opportunities are few and far between.

What about the in-flight entertainment? Do you speak to the Air Hostess?

Some times i just want to jump on a plane from London to Newcastle and back just for the thrill.

IIRC, Most airlines only offer the opportunity of one takeoff and one landing per flight
