Emergency slide unit ??? Falls of Thomas Cook Flight !?

From the Daily Mail.
A passenger jet was today forced to return to Gatwick Airport part-way through its flight to Egypt after a part plunged to the ground.
Thomas Cook Flight TCX1638 left the West Sussex airport at 9am with 237 passengers on board but had to turn back a short amount of time into its flight to Hurghada.
The emergency slide unit is believed to have fallen from the plane near the Kent and East Sussex border, but it was not until the jet was over Belgium that the fault was reported.

Well that's different.
