Bono‘s private plane lost a door while trying to land in Berlin, Germany on Wednesday. The rear hatch of the Learjet 60 D-CGEO carrying the #U2 front man and his four friends fell off during a two-hour flight from Dublin, Ireland. A source close to the singer said:
"He was extremely lucky, the plane could have gone down. About an hour into the journey they heard a big thud coming from the rear of the plane. They were startled for a bit but they continued on and made the descent into Berlin airport. When they landed they were horrified to learn that the compartment at the rear of the plane had completely detached."
"The entire door along with Bono and his companions' luggage had fallen out mid-air. They don't know if the door and the contents landed over water or land but they were extremely lucky. They were at an altitude where anything could have happened and they are all feeling very lucky to be alive.”
German officials confirmed the incident but insisted that the flight was never in danger of crashing and landed safely. Bono is in Berlin for the Bambi International Music Awards, which is set to take place today.
