Engineers left a 33-centimeter service light within the wing of a Qantas Airbus A380. The ATSB disclosed that the plane flew for two days with the work light inside before anyone discovered it. The 33-centimeter device stayed in the wing during those journeys as the Qantas plane flew.
The Qantas Airbus A380 journeyed to Texas and back while the maintenance light kept inside the wing. Technicians left the device inside the aircraft wing during maintenance work. The jet carried out its flights to Texas and back over two days before someone finally found the work light in the wing.
