Mechanics left a 33-centimeter service light within the wing of a Qantas Airbus A380. The ATSB revealed that the jet flew for two days with the work light inside before anyone found it. The 33-centimeter light stayed in the wing during those flights as the Qantas plane operated.
The Qantas Airbus A380 travelled to Texas and back while the tool kept inside the wing. Engineers left the lamp inside the jet wing during checks. The plane completed its flights to Texas and back over two days before someone finally found the work light in the wing.
