Close Call: NYC-Bound Virgin Atlantic Flight Grounded as Passenger Spots Missing Wing Screws

Picture this: You’re all set for a smooth flight to the Big Apple, but just moments before takeoff, a startling revelation sends shivers down your spine. This is exactly what happened to British traveler Phil Hardy, 41, aboard Virgin Atlantic’s Flight VS127 bound for NYC.

As the safety briefing unfolded at Manchester Airport, Phil’s eagle eye caught something amiss – four screws missing from the plane’s wing. Now, I don’t know about you, but that’s not the kind of detail you want to spot before liftoff.
