"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?

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