Oh, good morning, Robin². It was scary. That door falling off right in the middle of the flight. Bono on board with four friends, and this morning surviving what could have been a catastrophic disaster. 

 

He's used to flying high as the lead singer of U2. But this morning, Bono was just thankful to be alive after a cargo³ door on a private Lear jet he was traveling on detached from the plane, falling 18,000 feet in the air, luggage flying out. The Irish rocker and four friends were almost at the end of a 2-hour-flight from Dublin to Berlin on a Lear jet 60 like this one, heading to Berlin to accept a Bambi entertainment award tonight. But like a pro⁴, the superstar didn't miss a beat after the incident, meeting with a government minister later that day. 

 

“Get off my plane.”

 

And while in the movies where a detached plane door spells disaster, experts tell us in real life the situation on that plane was less risky⁵. 

 

“The passengers were not in jeopardy⁶ on this airplane. If the pressurization was not compromised, the airplane was flying well, there’s really no reason to turn around and go back.”

 

The pilots reportedly noticed a rumble⁷, similar to turbulence⁸ on approach, but felt no change in how the plane was flying. It was only when they landed that they discovered that the door and luggage were missing. But the mid-air drama was probably something the star could have lived with or without. 

 

“With or without you?” 

 

All right, so we get some funs with the song. U2 is wet to perform at the Bambi Awards tonight, and Bono had arrived a day earlier to meet with the German minister of economic cooperation and development. But guys, I can’t even imagine being on the plane. At least he didn't know that door was falling off. 

 

It was hard to imagine. 

 

Unbelievable. 

 

Yeah, that's crazy. 

 

Ok, Gio, thank you.
