Emergency exit slide FALLS off Delta Airlines Boeing 767 in NYC

26-APR-2024
Delta Airlines Boeing 767-332ER, performing flight DL-520 from New York JFK, NY to Los Angeles, CA (USA) returned to John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK/KJFK) after the in-flight loss of a right-hand side emergency slide.
The FAA reported:
"Delta Air Lines Flight 520 returned safely to John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York around 8:35 a.m. local time on Friday, April 26, after the crew reported a vibration. The Boeing 767 was headed to Los Angeles International Airport.
The FAA will investigate."

To create these videos, I keep my ear to the ground on major aviation news and events. I check the dates and time zones to see if I can find recordings of the radio conversations. Then, I become a bit of a broken record myself, listening to them repeatedly to create subtitles and identify key moments. Finally, I whip up some animations (or grab them from ADS-B websites) and combine them into a neat package.

[@gomez2724]

Worst case this is Delta, but even then I do not think they pack slides, they swap them out. Slide company may be the problem here. But not Boeing, not until there's a rampant issue with these.

[@TMccrury]

Ignorant headline on this. "AGAIN BOEING?" Folks, this airplane is 34 years old and has been through so many maintenance checks since it was first built and has so many new parts on it its barely the same airplane it was when it left the assembly line. No one in their right mind can pass the blame for this incident off to Boeing. This is purely a Delta Maintenance issue.

[@douglasthompson2740]

And where do you think those "new parts" came from? And who would install the more important systems? When you buy aircraft you buy their parts and their service manuals among many other things. When major overhauls come around a lot of work is contracted with the experts from the manufacturer. So much has been hidden, covered up, and glossed over by Boeing and its 'close' relationship with the FAA, Congress, etc. that we will never know what glitches caused what problems in the past and importantly in the future as long as the culture remains unchanged. The heading is quite appropriate and well deserved. In three or four years the FAA may deem to let us know what caused the problem or they may not so in the meantime I will go Airbus.

The reporting of this incident has been downright poor. Most people associate an emergency exit slide with those mounted on the inside of an entry/exit door of an airliner. This Emergency Exit slide is one which deploys from the fuselage near the trailing edge (the rear end) of the wing to allow passengers using the "over-wing emergency exits" to safely get off the wing and onto the ground.

Hey, something fell out of the sky! Oh, a Boeing must have overflown. They have a super effective weight shaving program. Didn't know that maintenance designed the aircraft!! But it makes me all warm and fuzzy that the FAA is on the case! Maybe they will reattach the parts for Boeing? Seems Boeing is hiring people to root for them in the comments. So far we do not know what the cause is but we do know that Boeing has an overwhelming number of causes. I will just go with the odds and not fly with them. Most likely we will find it was a design flaw enhanced by poor quality replacement parts with poor maintenance guidelines and manuals that have "disappeared". Just one more "quality escape" in Killer Calhoun's view, nothing to worry about.
