- Passengers aboard a Delta flight to Los Angeles came across a frightening scene Saturday when the plane's emergency slide accidentally deployed inside the cabin, injuring a crew member. READ MORE: abc7.la/45WoxfC
It was a totally warning sign that this plane needs to be retired or repaired
Odd statement without knowing more details.
Well, I think it's a little to late to call it a warning sing!
It was deployed accidentally by a caterer. It wasn't a spontaneous deployment. Additionally, commercially aircraft can fly for many, many hours given the intense mechanical checks they go through.
BTW, do know the date of manufacture and or the # of hours this aircraft has logged? What about the tail #?
Wow!!! Thank you for sharing. I am glad I have never gone through that having a door's slide opened up like that in the cabin.
The sound alone would be very startling -- like a mini bomb exploding
@@B_Bodziak Yes, I hear you!! I am glad I have flown for many years and never had that happen to me or my former crew members!!!
The Flight Attendant's jumpseat is just a few inches from the door. Since it was just prior to pushback, I hope she wasn't strapped in and seated when it deployed. However, if she was standing near the door, the force of the impact could/would have been intense and painful. Another news channel reported that the slide was accidentally deployed by a caterer. However, this is a 767 with automatic doors (and very large, double-laned slides), and when the doors are armed, the slides are designed to remain attached at the aircraft (at the bottom of the door opening) and fall outwards. I can't think of a scenario off hand that would cause the slide to deploy inwards.
Probably the initial mechanical issue caused it🤷♀️. I hope the flight attendant is alright because the impact can be brutal indeed.
God bless that sweet stewardess
Why did you interview a person who does not how to speak.
I understand her
@@winifredherman4214 Me too. Maybe she didn't add anything meaningful to the story, but people speak differently for a million reasons.
Maybe because she did not create a whole bunch of drama like every other person that is usually interviewed and you didn’t like that. She was clear on her explanation based on her experience, nothing wrong with that.
Fun fact: the plane involved in this incident (N189DN) is the same one that was flying Delta's BOS-LAX flight on 9/11/01 and was flagged as "possibly hijacked", but landed safely at CLE and no threat was found.
Well, that's terrifying
God bless you all 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I wouldn’t want to fly on that plane!
A delta spokesperson on an Atlanta news station said the slide was accidentally deployed by a caterer (probably ex-caterer now given that it can cost $29,000 to replace the slide)
And, the cause was..?
The local ATL news reported that it was caused by catering personnel
Information ist das Wichtigste! Auch wenn man dazu sagen muss dass die Passagiere nichts großartig daran ändern können, es jedoch sehr hilfreich ist wenn sie ruhig bleiben und ihre Sitze nicht verlassen.
That said, given the slide deployed inwards, the flight attendant could have been trapped underneath it or pinned to the adjacent wall. I would hope a couple of passengers would have gotten up to make sure the flight attendant didn't need immediate assistance!
*ding* can I get off now?
Delta has oldest fleet amongst the three major airlines do not fly Delta
They have the best safety record of the 3 legacies.
@@B_Bodziak I guess an engine failure and a slide deployment in a a single flight is no safety issue in your view
@@cindy1010us What "engine failure"? Don't start exaggerating!! Jeez. You obviously don't fly very often if you think a plane having two separate mechanical issues on one flight is super unusual.
If airlines got rid of every airplane that had two mechanical issues in one day or even one flight, there would be no commercial airlines flying.
If a 0lane has a mechanical issue that would compromise the safety of the flight, the plane can't fly until the issue is taken care of. If the issue wont interfere or compromise safety, the issue can wait to be fixed/repaired. Every airline has planes with issues that can "wait" to be fixed because they don't compromise safety. I'd go so far as to say *every* plane in the sky today that's being flown by American, Delta, Southwest and United has "tagged" issues that need to be fixed but aren't today because there's no time. However, none of their planes in the air today have a plane flying with an issue that would compromise safety.
Recall
SMH. Delta need to get rid of their 767s ffs
Why? They're one of the highest rated by passengers for comfort, and the 767 is a work horse. Pilots are qualified to fly both 757 and 767, cutting the costs of training and staff. The most problematic 767 Delta had was The Spirit of Delta and it's retired.
@@B_Bodziakwouldn't have this problem on an Airbus 😂
@@brybag6938 Haha! I got stuck at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris in a fairly new Airbus headed to ATL. The mechanics at CDG couldn't fix the issue. It was so unusual that it wasn't in their manuals. Weird. They had to delay the flight for a total of 50 hours while the airline had actual Airbus reps/mechanics from their HQ in France (Toulouse?) drive 4 hours to CDG to try and fix it. Passengers were accommodated on other flights. If I recall correctly, the GPS was not working correctly and ended up being an issue with software. . As soon as the aircraft reached a certain distance from the tower, the plane would "disappear" off of the radar. It was very strange. We taxi-ed around CDG for a couple of hours trying to figure it out if it was a set distance or if it was random. . There was no way the plane could fly. It was just luck that it happened in Paris just a few hours from where the plane was originally assembled. We ended up ferrying the flight to Atlanta (crew only, no passengers) so we could be the guinea pigs testing it. I love those flights that are deemed "safe for crew but not safe enough for passengers" lol
BTW, This was a 767-300 and these particular types of 767 will all be retired in 2025. Delta does have quite a few other 767, including 767-400, 767-200, and 767-ERs that will remain in their fleet. There are currently no plans to retire any of those
@B_Bodziak never had an airbus slide deploy from the outside tho because it can't ,even if armed 🤣
Did the plane really make it back to L.A.? When a slide is deployed the aircraft needs to be taken out of service as a new one is installed and tested.
If there was a packed slide in Salt Lake maintenance, they can change out the bustle in just under 4 hours.
Delta needs better safety standards for it's planes especially if this plane had landed to be checked for issues and in flight experienced more problems after inspection
What are you talking about? Delta has one of the best safety records in the world. BTW, this slide was accidentally deployed by a caterer servicing the aircraft at the gate.
@@B_Bodziak If the flight had issues after inspection was it inspected properly especially when dealing either the lives of passengers and crew? Let's not forget if a plane goes down your also endangering the life and welfare of people on the ground as well. So I'm 100% sure the inspector didn't do his job to the top of his performance or ability and the second incident happened due to DELTAS HUMAN ERROR DURING INSPECTION. This is why I only Fly JETBLUE MOSAIC
@@mitchcarter442 Issues on planes after take-off is a common occurrence on all airline's planes. You must not fly very often.
@@B_Bodziak I fly consistently for business from NYC to L.A. AND TO VEGAS as I work in the entertainment industry
I know someone was injured, but I had to laugh at the picture of the slide
The plate achem the plane
If people were made to fly we would have wings hehe.
And if we were made to drive?? Lol
Shet happens
Passengers should sue 🤣🤣🤣🤣 nowadays anything is free haha
