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