A photo that appears to show an airline maintenance worker applying tape to the plane engine sent internet users into a tizzy over the weekend. "Always worrying when @easyJet are duct taping the plane together :-s #finaldestination," Adam Wood tweeted Friday, along with the picture. The photo shows a man in a bright yellow vest pulling grey tape along the seam of the left engine casing. More than 700 people had retweeted the photo as of Sunday afternoon. Someone also shared the photo on Imgur with the caption: "Ladies and gentlemen, we will depart just as soon as our mechanic finishes taping our engine back together!" The photo has racked up nearly 2 million views. In a commenting thread on Imgur, several users said the fix was perfectly normal. "That's aeronautics-grade duct tape they use to seal ducts and joints. Completely safe to fly with it on. Source: asked an aero engineer," Imgur user Isilven wrote. A Reddit user wrote a similar assessment: "Speed tape is an aluminized pressure-sensitive tape used to do minor repairs on aircraft and racing cars. It is used as a temporary repair material until a more permanent repair can be carried out." EasyJet was also quick to respond to the Tweet, assuring passengers there was nothing structurally wrong with the engine. EasyJet's official Twitter account commented on the photo: "Hi Adam, Please be reassured that the duct tape is in place as a result of some cosmetic work that is required to the aircraft paintwork. It is nothing structural and in no way compromises the safety of the aircraft." It was not immediately clear where the plane was located or when the repair occurred. ----------------------------------------­--------------------- Welcome to TomoNews, where we animate the most entertaining news on the internets.
