A Delta Air Lines flight that departed from John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City was forced to make an emergency return to the airport Friday morning after an emergency slide came apart from the Boeing 767, the airline said. A search for the slide was ongoing.
“After the aircraft had safely landed and proceeded to a gate, it was observed that the emergency slide had separated from the aircraft,” a Delta spokesperson said in a statement to NPR Friday afternoon.
Yeah, I’d love to see some year over year data of emergency landings / returns, the mechanical issues, and the brand.
I’m curious about how much of this attention is deserved and how much is just confirmation bias.
