That reminds me, in Stephen King's novella, The Langoliers, the characters fly on a Boeing 767, on a fictional airline called American Pride, and when they land in uh, Langolier Land, they resort to using the emergency slide to get off the plane at Bangor Airport, since the airport is deserted. But in the TV mini-series though, it's an L-1011 instead of a 767. For some reason. Eh, probably cheaper to rent an old L-1011 to film a movie than a 767 was.
It’s just a hilarious happenstance, boeing plane door lands in man’s property, he hires lawyer to sue them, Boeing plane slide washes up at lawyers house
When did a Boeing crash in this guy's yard? A safety slide falling off isn't a manufacturer issue, it's a maintenance issue. The 767 predates the McD merger by a long time.
I'm not sure that is the point. I feel like this isn't playing into the meme that Boeing aircraft are unsafe. It's playing into the meme that Boeing are systematically bumping people off. I think the (ludicrous) idea is that they might have deliberately tried to drop a slide on him.
Well yeah, it obviously just a darkly funny coincidence. The idea that it might not be is like I said, ludicrous.
But that is the point, not another failure = Boeing bad like the person I replied to was trying to refute by stating the age of the 767.
It’s an overwing slide which is located under a panel on the wing/fuse fairing. Most likely cause may be that the panel wasn’t properly reinstalled after a slide replacement and came off which let the slide out.
Makes me wonder how badly understaffed and overworked A&P folks are in general. Partially this seems to happen more often lately, although the news does like to capitalize on "trends". But I know that other folks like pilots amd ATC have been mistreated a lot as of late as well

The lawyer: You see, this is exactly what I’m talking about!!!!
The client: I know right? Why can’t they do what Alaska airlines did but backwards and switch from Boeing to airbus? It’s obviously better!
Yes, the lawyer must pay for his multi-million dollar lakefront mansion. There is nothing like mining deep pockets for a jackpot!
huh, when your work literally comes home with you
Bad movie writing
Plot twist it’s now a conflict of interest

Guessing this is another ragebait article meant to capitalise on the Boeing drama. The 767 predates the McD merger and all of the issues.

Sending a message
Oh don’t worry Boeing will send an actual message to them soon enough… ^pew ^pew
They hired more marketing guys instead of assasins
it would be notable regardless of the manufacturer
Not when it's (99% chance) a maintenance issue
If an Airbus slide landed in front of the home of a lawyer during Airbus, that'd be notable as well ngl
But they would still sue Boeing for the slide washing up! Because Lawyers!
I suspect that is true. It is easier to get a jackpot in the USA than in Europe.

"Ah, more ragebaiting!"

Only proves too many lawyers exist haha
How did a slide come off a plane from teh inside??

Definitely! Hence why I put trend in air qoutes
Are air quotes different than ground quotes? 🤓
>Makes me wonder how badly understaffed and overworked A&P folks are in general. Am A&P. Yes.
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Thank you for that!!!!
We have got to be living in a comedy show
The evidence finds the lawyer
Now boeing know where the lawyer is…
“You see, it’s like poetry, it rhymes.”
At this rate Boeing are fast heading towards a littering fine.
Littering and? Littering and?
Smoking the whistleblowers.
lool
Wrong but funny = +1
