Missing Emergency Slide from Delta Flight Found By Lawyer

Jake Bissell-Linsk, a New York attorney whose firm is suing Boeing over safety issues after an Alaska Airlines plane lost a door plug midair in January, said he was surprised to see the emergency slide outside his oceanfront home in Belle Harbour Queens on Sunday.

The slide that fell off a Delta flight departing from JFK Airport on Friday was found two days later, washed up in front of the lawyer’s beachside house.

Authorities had been looking for the missing slide in Jamaica Bay since Friday afternoon, but since Bissell-Linsk’s house fronts the Atlantic Ocean, it appears the slide was farther away than they had thought.

The emergency slide was discovered on the south side of the Rockaway Peninsula, directly off Beach 129th and Beach 130th Streets.

About five hours later, according to Bissell-Links, a Delta Air Lines crew came at the location to remove the emergency slide from the water. The airline has recovered the emergency slide, an airline representative informed The Post, adding the airline will “fully cooperate” with any pertinent inquiries.

According to Bissell-Linsk, his law firm has not yet determined if the recent emergency slide event has objects to do with the lawsuit it is currently pursuing against Boeing.
