An evacuation slide fell off a plane and landed in man's yard
(CNN) — No, it's not a bird or a plane. It's an evacuation slide from a Delta flight. A large, inflatable slide fell from the sky and into a Massachusetts man's yard Sunday. It came crashing down from a flight traveling from Paris' Charles de Gaulle Airport to Boston's Logan International Airport.

What was the slide doing on the plane in the first place? It should have been IN the plane don't you think?
So when do aircraft fly with the doors open? And if they did wold not the girth bar have held it in place? Fallen out of a truck or stolen from the airport and repositioned in the man's yard is more likely!
Why would the 767 have to fly with door open, for an evac slide to pop out of it's enclosure?? It's underneath the door/floor in a separate structure.
Could you imagine the irony of a slide getting sucked into an engine or damaging a control surface causing an emergency where after an emergency landing you are down one slide?
Do you want the irony measured in absolute numbers or a sliding scale?
lol!
Tough town to live in! An evac slide falling off a plane is bad, but back in 2010, the body of a 16-year old stowaway fell into a similar yard in Milton after the planes landing gear was deployed. Now, that can ruin your day...and probably your property value!
