The Boeing pilots had to turn around to land at John F. Kennedy International Airport after only half an hour of flight. They told ABC News they heard “vibrations and a loud noise”.
In a press release, Delta explains that the emergency slide on one of the exits came loose. The airline says it does not yet know where the slide may have landed. “Delta fully supports recovery efforts and will fully cooperate with investigations,” it said.
Yet another incident at Boeing
The aircraft in question, a Boeing 767, had been flying for 33 years. After the incident, he was removed from service, according to US media.
