Easyjet Mishap

Part of our Easyjet wing came off while in flight yesterday! The orange cover and the piece of metal that presumably holds the mechanics in place went arrivederci.

I noticed there was an orange cover MISSING while we were flying into Naples from Venice!
As shown clearly in the video when we landed, there are mechanics that are missing, including what appears to be something connecting the upper and lower part of the underwing part, all of which should be covered by the orange cover, which fell off during flight.
As we walked away from the plane, I took a picture of the other wing. You can clearly see that there should be orange covers on the wing supports (a total of three per wing, including the one furthest out, although one closer to the fuselage is not visible here), presumably to guide the plane down to a safe landing. Fortunately, we made it without incident.

The video footage is of the wing that lost the part after we landed. I was holding my breath that everything would go well.
