Is that supposed to happen?

Well there are a lot of these planes going around the world all the time, and very seldom does anything like this happen. I just don’t want people thinking that planes aren’t safe.

As long as they towed it outside the environment.

Into a different environment.

Well what sort of engineering standards are these planes built to?

Was this plane safe?

Yea...it's a feature these days....someone didn't pay the 50$ safe aircraft upgrade.
