   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.
