U2 frontman Bono lost his luggage — and nearly his life — when his private jet suffered a mid-air incident that caused a door to be completely ripped off the plane.
Bono apparently “cheated death” after a mid-air accident saw the door completely torn away from the plane he was travelling in.
The U2 musician was making a two-hour trip from Dublin to Berlin on board a Learjet 60 D-CGEO with four friends heading to the Bambi International Music awards when the incident reportedly took place.
“He was extremely lucky, the plane could have gone down,” a source told the Irish Daily Mail. “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 door was gone, along with the luggage belonging to Bono and his four travel companions. The other members of U2 were not present, as they were traveling separately to the show.
