You ever seen what happens when a screw comes loose and hits another surface at 500 mph? I have had a small screw go through a plane propeller before. 1 missing screw, let alone 4, would terrify me.

I’ve noticed missing bolts a few times when sitting in wing view seats. Didn’t realize that isn't supposed to be ok. This problem might be quite common.

  Missing screws CAN be ok. The issue is where the screws went, and why they came out.

  I was about to say this, I'm not 100% sure but I think I did see that as well

If a screw coming loose and hitting another surface is a concern, shouldn't the missing fasteners in fact enhance safety? They're the only ones we can be sure won't fuck up the engine or whatever.
