Passengers said the cabin seemed "noisier and colder than they were used to." That's when a crew member noticed a window seal flapping at the back of the aircraft.

A U.S.-bound plane took off from London last month with four damaged window panes, including two that were completely missing, according to U.K. air accident investigators.

No one was injured by the window malfunctions, which appear to have been caused by high-power lights used in a film shoot, the U.K.’s Air Accident Investigation Branch reported in a special bulletin published Nov. 4.

    I’m surprised by that, because I’m having a hard time picturing a setup that was all that much hotter than, say, sitting on the tarmac in Phoenix in the summer.

      Stage lights are hot as fuck dude, even hung from rafters you can feel their directionality on stage.

      Hell find someone who likes flashlights and ask to borrow a 1000 lumen lights then shine it at your hand, it gets noticeably hot very rapidly.

          Yeah… Me too… I Don’t at all have several…

          I get it, but if you work in a trade flashlights are part of life and a shitty one legit ruins your day. (Like I’ve legit gone office space printer style on more than one for being junk and fucking up when least appropriate)

            I have nothing against the hobby, I just don’t get it myself. The hobby definitely makes more sense if you actually use flashlights very often.
