200 passengers got the jar of their lives when their plane was draw to do a atomic number 92 - number and head straight back to the airport after their pilot ’s window , which had been ‘ patched up ’ with duct tapeline , come slack .
“ We were kept in the darkness , and were terrified . I could see guys tap in the windscreen with what looked like duct tape or gaffer tape . ”
I ’m surprised Ryanair did n’t call the tape a ‘ cost - saving measure ’ , or indeed level the customersmore for the thrill . [ The SunviaAolviaGizmodo UK ]
Update : Many readers have pointed out that it was most potential “ speed tapeline ” used to piece the window up , which is reportedly stronger stuff and nonsense than your average channel tape . We can only go on what was reported at the source ( in this case , The Sun – not the citadel of facts , as you ’re all aware ) .
Our newest offspring Gizmodo UK is gobbling up the word in a different timezone , so ascertain them out if you need another Giz fix .
