Did they see it coming apart and say nothing to the crew?
E: another passenger did. Apparently not the clowns that had to get firsties posting to social media.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
BOSTON - A United Airlines flight from San Francisco to Boston was diverted to Denver on Monday because of an issue with the plane's wing - and a worried passenger on board captured the apparent problem on video.
"Just about to land in Denver with the wing coming apart on the plane," Kevin Clarke says in a video shared with CBS News.
Clarke said the wing issue became apparent after takeoff from San Francisco.
The passengers were put on a different plane and landed in Boston early Tuesday morning.
Boeing has been under scrutiny since a door panel on a different kind of aircraft, a 737 Max 9, blew off during an Alaska Airlines flight in January.
Earlier this month, the head of the FAA pledged to use more people to monitor aircraft manufacturing and hold Boeing accountable for any safety rule violations.
The original article contains 286 words, the summary contains 143 words. Saved 50%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Does it not seem like something may have hit the wing on takeoff; a bird perhaps? This might not be anyone's fault.
Birdstrike doesn’t cause the type of damage which would produce this type of result.
So karma is real
lol fuck I am pretty sure I’ve been a passenger on that tail number more than a few times
Oh, no. That is a level of FlightAware data tracking I have not touched on and I think I'm too scared to. Nope, a little ignorance is bliss sometimes.

Does anyone else remember a few years back there was a story about airlines sending planes to the arab area for maintenance to save money on labor? I do. There were safety concerns about that back then.
