## Discrepancy

DURING INSPECTION OF AIRCRAFT, A FASTENER WITH ITS HEAD POPPED OFF AND 2 EACH FASTENERS AFT OF THE FIRST FASTENER WERE ALMOST PULLED THROUGH THE FUSELAGE SKIN AT BS 480 NEAR STR 29L.  INTERNAL INSPECTION REVEALED CORROSION OF THE FUSELAGE SKIN AROUND THE FASTENERS.  DAMAGED AREA WAS REMOVED AND REPAIR ACCOMPLISHED PER THE SRM.
