Whoops.
From USA Today:
A flight from London to Orlando had to turn around after passengers discovered that some cabin windows were missing panes after takeoff.
The flight leaving Oct. 4 from London Stansted Airport headed to Orlando International Airport was in flight for just more than 30 minutes before it safely touched down, according to a special bulletin released on Nov. 3 by the Air Accidents Investigation Branch.
While the crew did not notice anything wrong with the plane before takeoff, several passengers reported that it was colder and louder than usual as it became airborne.
Investigators believe the windows were damaged by high-powered lights that were used for filming the day before
After the plane had ascended to approximately 10,000 feet, the seatbelt signs were switched off. A crew member walking towards the back of the cabin noticed it was getting louder, and grew "loud enough to damage your hearing," according to the report.
He saw one window seal "flapping in the airflow," and the window pane was slipping down, the report states.
Watch:
Thankfully, someone noticed what was going on before they got too high in the air. before they got too high. The plane turned around and went back to the airport.
