Planes can fly with one engine....they can’t fly with one wing......good grief.

These airlines better get ahold of their maintenance issues.

“After landing it was observed that a portion of the left wing’s flap was not in place. The aircraft has been taken out of service for maintenance."

I wouldn't call that "maintenance." It's a repair.

I keep getting the impression that one of the reasons we are seeing so many flaws in Boeing aircraft is that EVERYTHING on them is designed so close to the edge of serviceability and built with less than stellar attention to detail as means to meet competing mandates and directives, from "climate" to fuel economy, to DEI hires for assembly technicians...

There are only so many straws that camel can take.

“ as the plane flew at hundreds of miles an hour thousands of feet in the air.”

No WAAAYYY.
Why was the plane going so fast ?
It should have slowed to 20 mph and put its blinkers on

Some zip-ties will get that flap back in place just like new.

My guess, faulty maintenance.

737s are some of the oldest planes still flying around now. More of this will happen, especially when they let maintenance schedules slip.

The sixty-two passengers and six aircrew safely landed,

The most often overlooked part of these stories. Give credit to the planes and the aircrews when it is due.

Just looking at the winglets on the end of the wing tells me the plane is fairly new.

Wonder how many hours it has on it?

Poor maintenance? Poor inspection? It might have even come from the factory with loose bolts (where have I heard that before?)

That’s what the experts call “a problem”.

The maintenance guy who found a bolt in his pocket just figured out where it came from.

No need to worry about it flapping in the breeze. It’s called a flap for a reason.

I’m beginning to wonder if the maintenance units have been hiring Muslims. Many of the maintenance units are in Mexico.

Since this report is sparse on news, from another site it appears that it is a 737-800 that was almost 25 years old.
