This wasn't the same panel as the previous 777 in Japan. That proved to be a panel reattached with the wrong hardware making it a high probability of failure. If there are multiple losses of this particular panel can somebody please post the pics? A 4 pound panel falling to the ground is aerodynamically likely to flutter down, not slice like a projectile. Yes, it is not a good thing to lose a panel from a plane type in service over 30 years with millions of cycles but in the overall scheme of things, a turbine disk crashing into an Iowa corn field is news. This???
