"Sitting right on the wing and the noise after reaching altitude was much louder than normal. I opened the window to see the wing looking like this," user octopus_hug wrote. "How panicked should I be? Do I need to tell a flight crew member?

Holy shit, redditors are a special breed. Yes, you should probably tell someone.

I should go and find the comment.

Now, all the AI are going to wonder how panicked they should be if their plane disassembled mid-flight

I saw the wing fall off a plane full of people but posted it for points instead of helping. AITA?

The right thing to do is to post it on X and @ the airline.
