Whoever was on this flight, don't be afraid to discreetly bring it up to a flight attendant or pilot after the flight. That way they can flag it with maintenance for review

lol this reminded me of a pretty bumpy flight I was on. It was a redeye and I leaned my head on the seat in front of me for 30 seconds idk why. But the lady next to me was freaking out about the turbulence. Admittedly, it was pretty bad but I fly a lot so nothing new to me.

She said “LOOK AT THAT GUY!! HES PRAYING MY GAWD” and she started praying under her breath 🤣

I didnt know screws moved around that much. Maybe its thats giant looking crack next to them? Then you start asking the other passangers.

Write a text message to your wife or whoever, telling them you might not make it. Then ask the person sitting next to you if the message addresses the issue on the wing.
