Delta 767 Return to JFK After Slide Separates in Flight
Hey guys; this is no biggie. Just another airframe malfunction issue from Boeing. Happens all the time. Nothing to worry about. I’m sure everything is totally sorted inside of Boeing right now. 
A quick Google doesn’t reveal the same issues occurring with any other manufacturers but I sit to be corrected.
I wonder - and this is purely a hypothetical thought - was the door partially armed inadvertently by some passenger fiddling that was never noticed by the crew and allowed the mechanism to be partially primed for an inadvertent deployment due to constant turbulence/vibrations over time?

Bit of an overreaction on the part of the Lawyer and his comatose wife.
Find something, assume an aircraft has crashed and then have a major meltdown even though you do not know if any relation is even flying?
I think there were some pre-existing mental issues.
“Had to assume the worst” Why?
Blinded from reality by the bright flashing $$$$$ signs perhaps?

And people sometimes make fun of lawyers??
"We haven’t decided if the slide is relevant to our case,” Bissell-Linsk said.
The attorney is one who filed suit against Boeing arising from the Alaska 1282 door plug incident.
Good luck to this Counselor if suit arising from the slide separation incident is filed in federal district court. State court procedural rules sometimes can be more, uh, tolerant, but in U.S.D.C., the exposure to a motion for sanctions under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11 for frivolous cases and legal positions can be and often is a powerful force.
It would be a preposterous case to bring. If I wore the black robe and sat on the bench in a United States District Court, on the facts reported so far, I think I'd be not inclined to grant Rule 11 sanctions for filing a nonsense lawsuit - I'd be strongly inclined to grant such a motion.
Good lord, Counselor, splash some cold water on your face and get a clue.

Ahh the Boeing 767 over wing slide, what fun they were to work on . So for the people wanting some extra knowledge here’s how they work:
- big bottle of nitrogen pre-charged and in the wheel well if I can remember.
- when any movement of the over wing plugs happens, the system activates which you can see in the video, pyros (small explosive) activate pushing a horn on the ground spoilers so that they blow down, the bottle releases the gas into the slide which has unlocked it self, then it inflates. Wooshka lollies and shark dye for everyone.
What a bitch if you accidentally set one off doing a pressure run and leak check of the plug doors , don’t ask how I know…………..

Once again; nothing to see here - slides pop out the side of the aircraft all the time 🤣
*Boeings not aircraft. My mistake.
Sure, Boeing could have made a more foolproof latch. But at the expense of more fiddly little parts that could go wrong. At some point, one has to put some faith in the training of the people that are supposed to close this thing.
