A Delta 767 flight from New York’s JFK en route to LA had an unusual problem last Friday.<\/p>\n
The pilots of Delta Air Lines Flight 520 from New York to Los Angeles reported vibrations and a banging not long after takeoff, the Federal Aviation Administration said. The plane turned around and landed back at JFK at 8:35 a.m., after spending roughly 33 minutes in the air, according to the FAA.\u00a0 ABC<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Seems one of the exit door emergency slides had detached itself from the plane in flight. Yeah, I bet one of those things flapping around in the windstream would cause a little commotion as it tore itself loose.\u00a0 Shows how self-absorbed travelers are nowadays, you would think at least one of them near that door would have called the attendants about a giant yellow thing flopping around out there like the world’s longest Best Buy shopping bag? At least it didn’t stay gone for long.<\/p>\n
Jake Bissell-Linsk, a New York Attorney, found a new addition to his seascape Sunday.<\/p>\n
There \u2014 trapped on the rocks within feet of his front yard in a freak coincidence \u2014 was the emergency slide that fell off the Boeing 767 jetliner, he told The Post.<\/p>\n
While officials had been searching for the missing slide in Jamaica Bay since Friday afternoon, it turns out the slide was more far-flung than they expected \u2014 as Bissell-Linsk\u2019s home faces the Atlantic Ocean.<\/p>\n
Belle Harbor is located six miles southeast of JFK International Airport.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
But in one of those “you can’t make this stuff up” twists:<\/p>\n
Bissell-Linsk is a partner at law firm Labaton Keller Sucharow, which sued Boeing on Jan. 30 in an Alexandria, Va. federal court alleging the company made false and misleading statements about safety following the Alaska Air door blowout.<\/p>\n
Labaton\u2019s case has now been consolidated with other similar suits, and Labaton, which is co-lead counsel in the consolidated suit, expects to file an amended complaint within two months.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe haven\u2019t decided if the slide is relevant to our case,\u201d Bissell-Linsk said.\u00a0 NY Post<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Pretty sure it ain’t gonna help Boeing’s side of the case any.<\/p>\n
Recommendation: more range time for the cockpit crew at the bombing range if they are ex-Air Force. They missed. Close, but only due to the tides.<\/p>\n
H\/t to a fine-looking redhead with an atavistic fondness for Sig 45’s of long acquaintance for this one.<\/p>\n
