A United Airlines flight that took off from San Francisco International Airport Friday morning landed in Oregon with a missing external panel, according to officials.

United says the missing panel wasn’t discovered until the plane landed safely in Medford and that pilots had no idea during the flight that something had happened.

    You’ll still be fine. These are singular cases we hear about, especially now when Boeing is ripe for some more kicking things get hyped up and shared, to what is essentially thousands of flight hours every day their planes make. Overall their safety record is not even close to bad.

      Comparatively, it’s definitely bad.

      But air travel is still far safer than driving.
