Passenger shocked when part of airplane window breaks off during rough landing: ‘This is a first’

They didn’t protect the border.

A Delta Airlines passenger was understandably nervous after the frame encircling their window toppled off during a rocky landing, as detailed in a Reddit post taking off online.

“Whelp, it’s not often that things other than wi-fi break on my flights, but this is a first,” read the caption to the post. “Fell off when we landed.”

The accompanying photo, allegedly snapped aboard an unspecified Delta fight, shows the white border on the floor between their legs, as well as the broken seal on the window from which it tumbled.

The Post has reached out to the airline for comment.

Reddit commenters had a field day with the mile-high equipment malfunction.

“Premium Airline experience!” snarked one commenter, while another wrote, “I would have been very traumatized by this.”

“Wear it like a necklace as you exit the plane,” suggested a third.

“That’s why I always carry a roll of duct tape in my rollaway,” declared another Redditor.

Others used the fiasco as an opportunity to poke fun at airline perks programs, with one wit quipping, “Send a complaint to corporate! Hopefully they will retire that old plane and you get some Delta miles!”

“Ah, sorry, you didn’t purchase Exit Row PlusElite, so you can’t get standard safety per the investors,” joked another.

This isn’t the first time things fell apart when the rubber hit the runway aboard a Delta flight.

In April, an emergency slide toppled from a Delta plane while it was in the air, forcing the Los Angeles-bound flight to return to John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City.

In slightly more positive news, the airline recently announced that it will serve Shake Shack burgers on long-haul flights starting Dec. 1 — but only to first-class passengers.
