What: Wizzair Airbus A320-200 en route from Bucharest Romania to Milan Italy
Where: Bucharest
When: Nov 30th 2011
Who: 157 passengers
Why: We haven’t heard about falling parts in a while.
The airbus was en route over Bucharest when an engine access panel fell off.
Oops.
The pilots returned to the airport within twenty minutes. I wonder where the access panel ended up. Who forgot to fasten it? Inquiring minds want to know these things. There’s more to this story than what we’ve seen.
