       | reporting. There is an emergency landing, on average, about once
       | a day even prior to all of this.

         | Is there a source for the statement? I can only find one that

         | does not seem to mention the plane being diverted which is
         | claimed in the tweet.

           | No diversion because they didn't know until it landed, that
           | the panel was missing. Tweet is blowing this out of
           | proportion.
