Two blown tires and wing dents on AeroMexico flight, FOD?

#3  I flew a few routes of 'Aero-Nunca' back in the mid-70's. Once, at the Guadalajara airport, they came over the loudspeakers and announced (in English, as there were quite a few Americans in the waiting area) that there would be a 'maintenance delay'. Then they announced (in Spanish for the rest) that there would be a delay as they were 'fixing the wing'.

I asked around (my Spanish was much better in those days) and none of my fellow Mexican travelers seemed to be too concerned as apparently these types of 'maintenance items' were quite commonplace.

Some things never change, I guess.
