Brazilian Domestic Flight Reports Loosening Window Bolts

A Brazilian man named Eduardo Caram found a window bolt installed on the flight operated by TAM Airlines from Rio de Janeiro to Sao Paulo that seemed to be loosening before take-off and he could easily take the entire window down from the window frame, “Mirror” tabloid reports.

Caram said that he had informed the cabin screw of the loosening bolt when he saw it the first time. However, one of the cabin crew told, “It was the bolt installed on the inner side (not the outer side) of the window that was found to be loosening, and this problem would not affect the flight safety.” When the flight successfully landed at the airport, Caram could finally feel relieved and everyone was safe. TAM Airlines has no response to this report.
