      XPost: rec.travel.air, alt.aviation.safety, alt.fan.rush-limbaugh       XPost: talk.politics.guns, sac.politics       From: democrat-criminals@mail.house.gov              https://nypost.com/2024/04/29/business/missing-emergency-slide-that-fell-       off-delta-flight-found-washed-up-in-front-of-house-of-lawyer-whose-firm-       is-suing-boeing/              The emergency slide that fell off a Delta flight departing from JFK       Airport on Friday was found two days later — washed up in front of the       beachside house of a lawyer whose firm happens to be suing Boeing over       safety issues, The Post has learned.              Jake Bissell-Linsk — a New York attorney whose firm filed a lawsuit       against Boeing following the Alaska Airlines door blowout in January —       told The Post he got a surprise on Sunday around noon when he looked out       the window of his oceanfront home in Belle Harbor, Queens.              There — trapped on the rocks within feet of his front yard in a freak       coincidence — was the emergency slide that fell off the Boeing 767       jetliner, he told The Post.              “We are right on the beach and I saw it was sitting on the breakers,”       Bissell-Linsk told The Post.              While officials had been searching for the missing slide in Jamaica Bay       since Friday afternoon, it turns out the slide was more far-flung than       they expected — as Bissell-Linsk’s home faces the Atlantic Ocean.              Belle Harbor is located six miles southeast of JFK International Airport.              The emergency slide was found right off Beach 129th and Beach 130th       Streets on the south shore of the Rockaway Peninsula.              Bissell-Linsk said he went outside and got up close to snap pictures of       the deflated, yellow slide, noting that it appeared to be intact despite       being tangled in the rocks and floating in the surf.              “I didn’t want to touch it but I got close enough to get a close look at       it,” Bissell-Linsk told The Post. “Our case is all about safety issues at       Boeing, and this slide is literally right in front of my house.”              Several hours later, around 5 p.m., a crew of Delta workers arrived. They       fished the chute out of the water and threw it into the back of a pickup       truck, he said.              “My neighbor called the FAA hotline and they are closed on Sundays,”       Bissell-Linsk said. “So he just called Delta.”              “I see this Delta truck pull up and watch them pull it out of the water,”       Bissell-Linsk said. “It took them about 10 minutes.”              The freak accident on Friday set off an emergency alarm around 8:30 a.m.       aboard Delta Flight 520, which had departed the Queens airport an hour       earlier for Los Angeles.              “Delta Air Lines 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 Federal Aviation       Administration told The Post on Monday.              “The FAA is investigating. Please contact the carrier for more       information.”              “Delta confirms retrieval of the emergency exit slide. As indicated on       Friday, we will fully cooperate with all relevant investigations,” a Delta       spokesman told The Post Monday afternoon.              Bissell-Linsk is a partner at law firm Labaton Keller Sucharow, which sued       Boeing on Jan. 30 in an Alexandria, Va. federal court alleging the company       made false and misleading statements about safety following the Alaska Air       door blowout.              The incident has shattered the reputation of the aerospace giant, whose       CEO has since signaled he will exit later this year.              Labaton is representing those who purchased Boeing common stock between       Oct. 23, 2019 when Boeing said it was laser-focused on safety and January       24, 2024, more than two weeks after Jan. 5, when a door flew off a Boeing       737 Max during the Alaska Air flight.              Bissell-Linsk said he hopes aviation authorities are investigating why the       slide fell off the plane.              “I think the slide should be handed over to whoever is investigating the       incident.”              Labaton’s case has now been consolidated with other similar suits, and       Labaton, which is co-lead counsel in the consolidated suit, expects to       file an amended complaint within two months.              “We haven’t decided if the slide is relevant to our case,” Bissell-Linsk       said.                     --       We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that       stupid people won't be offended.              Durham Report: The FBI has an integrity problem.
