An unusual event happened in London, where a plane took off with two windows open.
The plane took off from the Stansted airport runway, and only after reaching an altitude of 3,000 meters, the pilots realized that something was wrong.
The incident took place on October 4 this year, but was only made public in recent days following an investigation by the UK's Air Incidents Agency.
The "Airbus A321" model plane had been modified just one day before the incident for flights in bad weather, in order to collect data about storms. Apparently this has caused damage to one of the windows.
Fortunately, the staff noticed it in time and the plane managed to return to the runway.
