The Boeing jet lost the slide shortly after takeoff last week at New York City’s JFK Airport.
An emergency slide that fell off of a Delta passenger jet shortly after take-off last week reportedly turned up two days later outside the home of a lawyer whose firm is coincidently suing the Boeing plane manufacturer over safety issues.
Jake Bissell-Linsk, whose firm filed suit against Boeing after one of its planes lost a door plug mid-air back in January, said he discovered the deflated slide washed up outside his oceanfront home near New York City’s John F. Kennedy International Airport on Sunday.
“I didn’t want to touch it but I got close enough to get a close look at it,” he told The New York Post of the bizarre discovery along the shore of Belle Harbor, Queens.
While I know you're correct... And there is definitely going to be a media bias in reporting... There seems to have been a remarkably large number of issues with Boeing planes specifically lately.
Not all Boeing planes are garbage, and they are the cornerstone of domestic air travel. If we suddenly stopped flying them, ticket prices would triple. We have a lot of airbuses and some aging McDonnell Douglas planes, but Boeing probably makes up about half of American passenger planes.
But we do want lawyers skilled enough to be able to hurt major corporations, and then expect them to work cheap.
It's not all that hard to understand when you're downtrodden. But it is a bit counterproductive in my opinion. (That aimed at the original commenter, not at you, though I am sympathetic to both viewpoints.)
Tbf JFK area Oceanfront isn't nearly as nice as what you're probably picturing. It's not like coastal California, it's cold AF 8mo and rainy the rest. There's only like 2 sand beaches nearby.
