Perhaps they would have spent as much time burning fuel as required to just go to DEN where it was easier to accommodate another aircraft?I wonder why all the way to Denver if like this guy claims it was known at San Francisco take off?
I love all the manufactured drama from the narrator.
Reddit said. Case solved.Reddit said it’s a common issue on the 757, delaminating of the slat honeycomb. SFO-BOS and diverted to DEN.
The person who noticed it was posting about the event as it went down. It’s an interesting read.Reddit said. Case solved.
The amount of BS that gets upvoted to the top over and over is astounding.Reddit said. Case solved.
Ya I saw the thread. Would be unnerving as a passenger.The person who noticed it was posting about the event as it went down. It’s an interesting read.

They were probably somewhere over WY before someone opened a window shade and thought “ oh my stars and garters! “.
I’m sure after any memory items, QRH, and follow on checklists, maybe a walk back to take a look, or an FA taking a picture to show the determination was made wheather or not it was a land as soon as possible, or land as soon as practical situation, icing conditions enroute, in the descent and approach were probably a consideration too ( I’m not familiar with the type, but maybe the damaged area could affect anti ice for the wing in that side ).LOL, never heard the garters part before, ha'
I was just going by what the dude filming said, of course the structure is likely forward of the affected area, but I would think considering the possibility of the horizontal getting a black eye, (It certainly does not look like it's a risk) and abundance of caution would have suggested something other than DEN. Just because usually it seems the worst case scenario drives the decisions.
But maybe the flight deck never got anything beyond a description, or similar failure on other airframes had a base of knowledge that led to approval in flight to go to DEN? I dunno, I don't fly 121 so not sure how that would all unfold.
Ya know if it was a corporate bird, woulda crashed for sure!I can’t believe this Commie crew would risk the lives of all these “unsuspecting people” shame…unsafe!…cowboys…idiots…shame….!!!
