Emergency Slide Falls Off Plane, Winds Up At Home Of Lawyer Whose Firm Is Suing Boeing (www.huffpost.com)

An emergency slide that fell off of a Delta passenger jet shortly after take-off last week reportedly turned up two days later outside the home of a lawyer whose firm is coincidently suing the Boeing plane manufacturer over safety issues.

Jake Bissell-Linsk, whose firm filed suit against Boeing after one of its planes lost a door plug mid-air back in January, said he discovered the deflated slide washed up outside his oceanfront home near New York City’s John F. Kennedy International Airport on Sunday.

“I didn’t want to touch it but I got close enough to get a close look at it,” he told The New York Post of the bizarre discovery along the shore of Belle Harbor, Queens.

The plane is 34 years old. It's probably more likely it's Delta's lack of maintenance than a problem with Boeing.

While I know you're correct... And there is definitely going to be a media bias in reporting... There seems to have been a remarkably large number of issues with Boeing planes specifically lately.

Shitting on Boeing is getting clicks. So the news keeps reporting on every bit of anything they can find related to them. The incident rate isn't going up. At the same time there have been a few issues with Airbus planes but that's not getting engagement as much so the news isn't focusing on them.

Let’s see the Airbus incidents

I mean, they fucking killed a guy. So you know. Probably wouldn't murk a dude if their shit was up to standard

[–] CommanderCloon@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 months ago

[–] sukhmel@programming.dev 18 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Why not both, though?

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

Maybe bcause shades of nuance exists tho?

Should GM be responsible for a tire on your car going flat after you've owned it for 15 years?
