BERLIN – Berlin airport authorities say U2 front man Bono’s private plane lost a hatch as it was coming in for a landing in the German capital but the Irish singer was never in danger.
Airport spokesman Ralf Kunkel told the news agency dpa that the 32-inch by 40-inch rear hatch landed in the vicinity of Schoenefeld airport, on Berlin’s southeastern edge.

Bono is in Berlin for the Bambi awards Thursday.
