very interesting theory about how inspecting for the left slat problem compounded the problem by releasing the slide.

I don't imagine that boeing tested the flying qualities of the plane with the slide hanging out...but if,just if, the relative wind moved the slide and it released hitting and wrapping around the horizontal fin, wow!

murphy's law has been proven again.
