Summary
A Delta flight from Orlando to Austin had a terrifying mid-air scare when passenger Shanila Arif filmed a visibly damaged and bent wing flap breaking off before landing. Though the plane touched down safely with 62 passengers and 6 crew, the shaking and sudden damage sent shockwaves through the cabin—many onboard unaware until after touchdown. Delta confirmed the part detached prior to landing and has grounded the aircraft for repairs. This incident adds to a troubling pattern for Delta, following recent turbulence injuries and a crash landing, as the airline reaffirms safety as its top priority while apologizing for the ordeal.
