WTF is going on with airplanes these days? A piece of a wing of a Delta flight from Orlando to Austin was flapping

8. How many planes took off and landed that same day with no issues?

Context is important. Airplanes are machines. Machines have mechanical problems from time to time. That does not mean that every machine has them every time.

News is news, but whether it is relevant or means much of anything is always open to examination.

That Delta flight landed safely and the aircraft went to be repaired. The passengers got off safely. Some flew somewhere else on a different plane. Others will fly home on another Delta flight.

If you fly often enough, you're going to be on a plane someday that has some sort of mechanical problem. It has happened to me two or three times. Each time, I changed planes or arrived at my destination despite the problem. So it goes.
