https://www.npr.org/2024/04/26/12474549 ... rgency-jfkA Delta Air Lines flight that departed from John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City was forced to make an emergency return to the airport Friday morning after an emergency slide came apart from the Boeing 767, the airline said. A search for the slide was ongoing.
"After the aircraft had safely landed and proceeded to a gate, it was observed that the emergency slide had separated from the aircraft," a Delta spokesperson said in a statement to NPR Friday afternoon.
In a statement, the Federal Aviation Administration said Delta Flight 520 "returned safely to John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York around 8:35 a.m. local time on Friday, April 26, after the crew reported a vibration. The FAA will investigate."

It was a 767, it'll be a maintenance issue so I don't blame Boeing for this one, even though their name is associated with the aircraft.

As I predicted a couple of months ago, every single failure to a Boeing will now be headline material.
It's just the way the media works.
