A private plane carrying U2 lead singer Bono experienced an in-air incident Wednesday, with a rear door falling off the Learjet 60, an official with the German Federal Bureau of Aircraft Accident Investigation said.

“The Learjet lost a door where the luggage was put in,” the official, Germout Freitag, told ABC News.

Freitag said authorities don't understand why the door flew off.

On my Cessna, (granted it is far from a Lear 60 but the principle is the same) an item on the pilot checklist says: “Check baggage door for security.” In other words make sure it is secure, closed, and locked.

Hilarious. You’re using an article that refers to GW Bush as a wanted war criminal for documentation.

Fail.

there are thousands of articles detailing his fraudulent charity, I didn’t read the entire article for the link I put up. Mainly because there are so damned many. But you already know he is a crook, which is why you appear to be defending his morally bankrupt fraudulent ass.

Little screaming Bono boy blue,
In a Learjet he did flew,
A lock popped,
A door blew off,
And little Bono’s belongings went flying, too!

And the Grinch says:
“Boo hoo hoo!”

I’ll be reducing my carbon footprint as soon as all the two-faced clowns like “Bono” start flying commercial.

“...the door flew off.”

So the door had wings, too?

I remember being on a C141 Starlifter. The only window outside the cockpit was on the door. I went over and stood on a rail at the bottom of the door and looked out the window. I then realized if the door came off I was going for a wild ride so I quickly dismounted.

Did you read that link? Allot of leftist accusions there without much meat. So he offshored his money so he doesn’t have to pay for a bunch of socialists living off the industry of others. Good for him.
