Almost "Wednesday Bloody Wednesday" As Bono's Private Jet Loses Door At 15,000 Feet
Today is a 'beautiful day' for U2's front-man Bono as a 'miracle' saved him from what could easily have become 'Wednesday bloody Wednesday' for him and his friends as they flew from Dublin to Berlin. As NBC News reports, Bono had a mid-air scare on Wednesday when the rear door of his private jet plummeted at least 15,000 feet to the ground. The pilots said they noticed a rumble similar to turbulence during a right-hand turn on approach, but that they felt no major change in how the plane was flying even as luggage and door fell to earth... The search for the missing door continues but investigators were overheard saying they 'still hadn't found what they're looking for'.
U2 singer Bono had a mid-air scare on Wednesday when the rear door of his private jet plummeted at least 15,000 feet to the ground. The rock star and four friends were aboard the Learjet 60 traveling from Dublin to Berlin when the mishap occurred over Germany, authorities said. The plane landed safely and the two pilots only found out on the ground that the aircraft had lost its door and two suitcases from the luggage compartment.
The door has not been found. “The aircraft and its rear door are painted black, so the search in the wooded area will be difficult,” said Germout Freitag, a spokesman for the German Federal Bureau of Aircraft Accident Investigation. U2 is in Berlin to receive a Bambi entertainment award. After he landed on Wednesday, Bono met with a German lawmaker.

The question is... is Bono also friends with Putin?

Warning shot.
accident.
Bono's last decent tune.

Please tell me Al Gore was in one of those suitcases. It would make for a Happy Thursday around here.
No Algore, but there was a Manbearpig sighting in the woods during the search for the door.
Oh...bono
Shit, I thought they said Obama, and we'd be swearing Joe Biden in by 12:30pm.
I'm sure he was saving the planet as he was jetting around from here to there. Hypocritical prick.
Gaia caused it to happen. His private jet is causing too much pollution, and she is sick of his hypocrisy!
Q. What's the difference between Bono and God?
A. God doesn't strut around Dublin thinking he's Bono.
And God doesn't fly an American made plane.
Perhaps, Russia made… But who cares.
Moving on into something that matters.
That door is now a very expensive piece of rock memorabilia...
they ain't getting it back.
Bono doesn't have any decent tunes, his music fucking sucks.

I guess everybody likes certain kinds of music.
When I’m feeling suicidal I like Country and Western Music. When I want to feel delirious and depraved I listen to Rap Music. Heavy Opera is a perfect scream. Placido Domingo! Pastrami Pavarotti! And what’s-his-name! Frank Sinatra was no musical Einstein. Don’t say that. Yes I will. Listening to religious music makes me as happy as stepping in a brown crappie. I miss Disco, and I thought it was here to stay. When my nerves are shot, I can’t listen to Indian music. The 3rd movement to Beethoven’s 9th gives me a tingling feeling in the spine. The long sad notes of taps whelms a tear to my eye. At funerals I like to hear music that elevates, Danny Boy, a New Orleans marching band, Imagine. Sometimes, when I am fishing I like to listen to Motown, when the fish haven’t bit all day. I think the lyrics to Happy Birthday to You are juvenile and the melody sux. Chamber music is for bald headed poetry readers. A few campy doo-wop oldies I like, because back then my ride was 57 Impala, with an 8-track, and ~I~ sported, as the whistling punks would say, a duck’s ass. There is no room for argument, Lawrence Welk throws disgusting parties. I like that college drinking song by Kiplinger. Leonard Cohen shows us the way. My emotions get hoisted by Cante Libre, Ave Maria, by seafarer’s songs, and by Salty Dog. When Elvis overdosed I didn’t notice the Milky Way complaining. I have an all embracing disapproval of Christmas carols played in shopping malls, or anywhere.
(Oh, I beg your pardon. Excuse me for expressing myself.)
Yeah, but when the levee breaks, "Momma you got to move!"

Push another crap album to everyone's iTunes, Bono, and next time God won't be so forgiving.
Could've been an Unforgettable Fire
No, no ... it was Out of Control and I bet he had Vertigo feeling like a Drowning Man.
Door or no door, the show must go on. With or without you.
I told him not to force that crap onto Itunes users.
They are a persnickity bunch. Even if you give them something for free they get pissed.
Bono would have done the world a favor if he gave all those neckbearded d-bags free ebola.
Boner is such a fucking hypocritical bastard! 'Flghting for the poor' whilst U2 is 'based' in Amsterdam where they can away with paying a few pennies in taxes, and 'fighting for the environment' whilst globetrotting in a private jet! All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than other.
Too bad that cocksucker didn't crash, it would have made the world a less poluted planet and the remaining band members could donate all his money to the 3rd world!
I thought he died long ago, skiing into a tree?
Nah, I think this is the one with the fat kid that's a homo.
Really, all this attention too. This is nothing compared to when Eric Clapton pushed his son out that window to jump start his career.
Maybe next time
Marylin M.
Buddy Holly
Jimmy Dean
Elvis
Michael Jackson
Whitney Houston
and probably many more I'm forgetting
John Lennon.
Frank Zappa.
Marilyn Manson is dead?

Yeah...ater his rib-removal surgery he sucked himself into oblivion...
Jim Morrison and Janis Joplin
Jimi Hendrix
I'm surprised this story wasn't sent to my iPhone as a podcast against my will. The real question is, how are his sunglasses.
Remember, he IS the #2 (South Park reference)
Maybe his sunglasses allow him to see through the BS like in "They Live."
Am I the only one secretly hoping that someone in the country side finds the two suit cases that fell, and there is really awful shit inside them? Pete Townshend style.
It would be the only thing interesting about U2 since their first album.
It wasn't a door it was a hatch. The luggage hatch, unpressurized. They have double locking mechanisms but someone was in a hurry.
Incorrect. Standard Lear 60 has no external baggage compartment. All luggage is loaded through the emergency exit and the emergency exit is part of the pressure vessel. I can only guess they may be referring to a Raisbeck modified aircraft which does have very limited external storage under the tail and is not pressurized. This modification only very recently became available for the 60. Otherwise I can't see how the pilots didn't know.
Jesus H Christ, even Mick Jagger doesn't fly in his own private jet.
+ 1000 Will Banzai7: "Maybe next time"
"Maybe next time"
Next time you plan to take Berlin, it's... ACTHUNG, BABY!
Why exactly are they bothering to search for the door?
To look for the points of failure. (Or in this case, sabotage?)
I bet there was some expensive junk in those suitcases...
To put it on Ebay.
So they can try to blame it on Putin.
The door landed on a Street With No Name.
I guess it broke on through to the other side.
the door moves, it moves in mysterious ways
Abort, retry, fail?
cabal work again!!
The real U2/Bono died a long time ago, this is just the Illuminati version
indeed from pop singer to private equity manager ;)
I never asked to get their new album from Apple Itunes ... so there
Meh, unless they (the rich and famous) start fighting for the little guy (the plebes that support their fame and riches) is it really any loss?
Who gives a FLYING (or falling) shit?
I wish he'd pack up and retire, too, but this is no way to go about it, fellas!
Someone forgot to close the latch,
Someone didn't engage the catch,
White guy flies in a sleek black jet,
Head in the clouds, door on a pet.
sounds catchy, could be their next hit
Eye condition, Irish musician,
Save the planet, it's his mission,
Gettin' an award in Berlin,
Saving the world jet settin.'
Yeah man...pass the bong.
Effffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff...
Ahhhhhh...
Is this the Bambi Award?

hey, what is this ... a suitcase? ... full of sunglasses??
throw a door through a window
Celebrities and private jets are a bad combination... They always end in carnage.
not much of a challenge to get into the mile high club
Shame it only lost the door- if he had gone with it, the worldwide smug level would have plumetted.
This has to be Obama's fault, right?
Please tell me he was in front of the door and was ejected from the aircraft with it?...
I'd like to make my Veterans Day celebration a 5 day holiday this year!!!!
What, no "door opened" light on the dash?
There's a door over the wing on the starboard side, but no rear "doors". Since nobody was screaming in terror, I'd guess it was the hatch to the sealed luggage compartment below the engine that tried to escape the bullshit emanating from the cabin.
Bono's skidmarked kecks on german ebay soon.

Don't laugh. One of his managers will sell that and the hatch to the airplane in an auction with bidding starting at $100,000!
Sadly, some trust fund slacker would probably try to buy it!
All that Louis Vuitton luggage hits the ground with a splat...

He thought it was the door to the toilet.
The moral to the story being don't wear sunglasses inside.
Bono would fit in here. Money quotes from a speech he gave at Georgetown:
Did they run out of snow plows? It’s time to do some free shows in Kiev to atone for…whatever he has to atone for.
well if it would of happend over the ukraine. Putin did it.
lol and Putin would have failed again !!! just like he failed to take ukraine ... lotsa FAIL
The Ukrainians are reporting that the door was blown off by Russian backed rebels using Russian weapons from Russian bases whilst eating Russian cavier and drinking Russian wodka.
and now the russians are reacting by flying more out dated bombers near the usa border in order to act tough in a futile manner .... we will push the button .... lol, and commit mutual suicide by nuclear firestorm... don't make us threaten you again .... LULZ
Meh, just like yer comment!
does anybody give a Toss about bono ..... rofl !!
global warming blew that door off
bono cares so much it hurts
carbon taxes will help the poor
he feels your PAYNE (stewart)
[/SARCASM]
what about the hookers on board? are they ok?
Who will find Bono's poopy pants?
go look for them on ebay...
Why was he in Dublin???? Don't all the members of U2 'live' in Monte Carlo so as to reduce their tax burden?
I....ain't gonna play Sun City - but will gladly play in Tel Aviv
I wonder if the door and luggage landed where the streets have no names.
Hypocrit
The laws of gravity still apply? Now if only the market would fall from 15,000

The aircraft looks like one of those Ebola planes used to evac cases from W. Africa to the U.S.
Nah, the Ebola airplane was the much larger Gulfstream IV.The U-2 plane was a Learjet, now owned by Bombardier in Toronto. the early Lears had a horrible reputation for poor quality construction and a horrendous accident rate as well as a tiny, claustrophobic cabin. The newer ones, as this one seems to be, are better, but no great airplane. The baggage compartment is in the rear and I don't believe it is either pressurized or accessible from the cabin. Bono was in no danger t all.
"Holy Joe" "Jesus Christ" !
The door was "Exit" in "Seconds". It's "Gone". It went "Out of Control" in "Mysterious Ways". "Where did it all gone wrong?"
It's "Invisible" now. "Please" let them "Soon" find it before "Winter" comes. They are "Staring at the Sun" . "It's a "Race Against Time"
- "Silver and Gold" bitchez!! -
I can't stand Bono. What a flippin tool. How do I automatically undownload your latest album, Terdbowl.
you can't ... its spyware ! LOL
Bono, the super rich guy that can't make any more good songs but does dumb shit like this to stay in headlines ... Hahahahahahahaha
I've heard Bono has been spatting back and forth with the APPL execs over his itunes deal, but I had no idea it had gotten this bad.
If that plane did fall out of the sky I just might believe in a God.
But how could God kill his favourite son ?
I suspect he might have got pissed off with his fake liberal morality and brought the one who was crucified back into the fold.

Doors coming off at 15,000 feet?? I thought for sure you were talking about the economy. My bad.. Carry on.
that would be 55,000 feet yo
He wasn't flying coach so he could save the world?
Was it Yoko Ono the Dodo who did this Nono to Bono?
We should be so lucky.
Is there body to be found?
It took 20 years for the Lynard Skynard band to finally get a good album back on the market....and they did...Bono will have a song out next week about this life changing episode...and he will be on all the talk shows....a born again train traveler is my guess...
Because all propaganda agencies love to waste money on graphics to recreate what they claim and then post pictures of him getting off some other plane in the same story
Oh and look he has a Hexagon on his hat. That means nothing. And the woman with the EDUN bag nothing. And both of passengers and plane all black nothing. Bono, why so serious! The apple of your eye is smiling.
I'm sure satan not being able break through the doorway to heaven and falling to earth and tempting Eve in the Garden of Eden have nothing to do with this story
Since this is all coincidence I won't cover the numerology embedded in the story since it doesn't mean anything
what was that News a couple years ago that Bono lost $6Mil? $12 mil ?, in the stock market? Didn't know how to chart, huh? Dang...
I love old school U2, but I don't care for Bono's politics much. Still, I think his heart is generally in the right place.
How come there is so much hate and vitriol on this site, like, all the time? Really, you all would hope that Bono's plane crashed and he went down with it? what is the matter with this site?
This site isn't frequented by the zombie horde you are used to seeing, Sorry.
Not really hate... just that Bono is being called out for the save the world greenie BS like AlGore....all the while polluting everywhere flying around in a private jet. Kinda reeks of hypocrisy.
Bono: Man of the common folk.
When he gives every single piece of fiat he has away, and comes down to my financial level, then he has put his money where his mouth is. Other than that, he's a prick spouting bullshit about what the rest of us should do with our hard earnen money. What a fucking hypocrite.
why did that NWO pimp not die!
<--- Bono's CDs, vinyl albums and cassettes caused more global warming
<--- Bono's private plane caused more global warming than his plastic products
