Easyjet inadvertent chute deployment
As relayed to me by a colleage (an engineer, not an aviation bod), whose daughter was on board at the time.
Airline: Easyjet
Type: Probably a 737
Place: Nice
Date: 23 June 2005
As I understand it due to some groundcrew error, the forward escape chute of the aircraft deployed just before moving away from the bridge. Apparently it deployed into the bridge, and the problem was solved by removing the entire chute, and emptying the forward pax compartment before departing en-route (with evacuation plans presumably satisfied).
I have no reason for knowing other than being a nosey blighter, and my friend and colleague would be interested to know what happened to his daughters flight.
Can anybody fill in the gaps?, either here or by PM / Email?
