Bono’s plane loses hatch before landing in Berlin U2 front man Bono’s private plane lost a hatch as it was coming in to land at Berlin, German airport authorities have said. The U2 musician was making a two-hour trip from Dublin to Berlin on board his Learjet with four friends heading to the Bambi International Music awards when the incident reportedly took place. His bandmates Larry Mullen, the Edge and Adam Clayton were not on board, and had traveled separately to the awards show last night. Bono had apparently flown ahead of them to attend a diplomatic event with Gerd Mueller, the German minister of economic cooperation and development. When the aircraft reached the German coast, the tailgate at the rear of the plane became detached. Airport spokesman Ralf Kunkel told the dpa news agency that the rear hatch landed in the vicinity of Schoenefeld airport, on the south-eastern edge of Berlin. He said it was not clear why the hatch came off and that German authorities were investigating. Mr Ralf said the aircraft was never in danger of crashing and landed safely.
