SV 772ER lands at Riyadh with a damaged wing.

[MaxPower]

A Boeing 777 landed at Riyadh airport in Saudi Arabia recently with a damaged wing,it appears to be leaking hydraulic liquid everywhere

Hmmm....that's interesting...

What is that? At first I thought that part of the landing gear strut came lose and pushed through the wing but the landing was too smooth for that. Is it a part of the flap control strut?

Interesting video, the landing was even text book as far the touching down was concerned. As for the causes, I try my luck with a combination of fluid overfill and overheating

What the hell is THAT

Something that would make you worried as hell if you were sitting at a seat where you could see all that fluid leaking out.

Wouldn’t that be a lever/controll arm for a control surface? Like a pin popped out and the lever went the wrong direction.

If I am going to get wrongly blamed for it I guess I might as well say it.

It could be terrorism / sabotage.

Eh I think terrorists would have just gone ahead and used a bomb or something so they could claim responsibility. I mean, what would anybody gain from an aircraft malfunction if it was just that?
Maybe I'm thinking into your remark too much.

You are


Indeed quite strange to see, and not something you'd want to see on a Boeing 777 wing!
