Ceiling panel falls off on Delta Air Lines flight from Honolulu

A Delta Airlines passenger captured the shocking moment a panel fell off the roof of a plane during a flight from Honolulu to Minneapolis.

Marissa Walton was on board the plane when the accident occurred on Saturday, while two flight attendants scrambled to put the panel back into place.

“I’m no expert but this isn’t pretty,” the panicked pilot captioned the video, which has since gone viral online.

Walton’s footage shows the plane was full of passengers when a panel came off above one of the passengers’ heads.

Fortunately, no one appears to have been injured in the disaster.

MSN reported that the panel came off during landing and that the plane was a Boeing 767-300.

The Washington Post has reached out to Delta for more information about the incident.

On social media, the footage left viewers horrified, with one viewer writing on Instagram: “I wish I’d stepped up and helped sooner because just watching this made me feel anxious lol.”

Meanwhile, other commentators joked about the fact that the plane was made by Boeing, which has been in the news in recent months for a series of mechanical failures.

“Boeing’s new jigsaw puzzle game has you building a plane to gain altitude before it crashes,” one person joked.

The Boeing 737 MAX 9 is currently under federal investigation after a cabin panel on an Alaska Airlines plane blew off in mid-air in January, forcing the plane to make an emergency landing.
