A 5 x 7 foot section of a left wing panel peeled off a US Airways 757 at 27,000 on Sunday, struck and shattered the outer pane of a cabin window, then fell to the Earth below. The flight, enroute from Orlando to Philadelphia, landed safely in the City of Brotherly Love, after the incident occurred 45 miles outside of Baltimore. The aircraft was taken out of service for inspections and an investigation, while the panel remains M.I.A. The Baltimore Sun has indicated that local fire officials are asking that if you live in Prince George's or Anne Arundel counties or near Kent Island in Maryland, check your backyard for airplane wings.
