Paul David Hewson, popularly known by his stage name Bono and four friends were given the fright of their lives yesterday (Wednesday, November 12) when a rear door of their private jet fell off mid-flight.
The Irish rock star was on board the Learjet 60 D-CGEO making the two-hour afternoon trip from Dublin (Ireland) to Berlin (Germany).
A source close to the singer told the Irish Daily Mail: “He was extremely lucky, the plane could have gone down. 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”.
