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 discovered it. The 33-centimeter light stayed in the wing during those journeys as the Qantas plane operated.
The Qantas Airbus A380 journeyed to Texas and back while the tool kept inside the wing. Mechanics left the lamp inside the aircraft wing during maintenance work. The aircraft finished its flights to Texas and back over two days before someone discovered the work light in the wing.
