Technicians left a 33-centimeter work lamp within the wing of a Qantas Airbus A380. The ATSB revealed that the plane flew for two days with the work light inside before anyone discovered it. The 33-centimeter light remained in the wing during those journeys as the Qantas plane functioned.
The Qantas Airbus A380 flew to Texas and back while the work light kept inside the wing. Mechanics left the tool inside the jet wing during checks. The jet finished its flights to Texas and back over two days before someone spotted the work light in the wing.
