Technicians left a 33-centimeter work lamp in the wing of a Qantas Airbus A380. The ATSB disclosed that the plane flew for two days with the work light inside before anyone noticed it. The 33-centimeter light kept in the wing during those journeys as the Qantas jet operated.
The Qantas Airbus A380 journeyed to Texas and back while the tool stayed inside the wing. Mechanics left the tool inside the aircraft wing during repair tasks. The jet completed its flights to Texas and back over two days before someone discovered the work light in the wing.
