The FAA says they are investigating after a Chicago resident found an aircraft emergency escape slide in his backyard.
An emergency slide fell from a plane and landed outside of a home near O'Hare Airport in Chicago, July 17, 2023.It wasn't a bird or a plane hurtling from the sky, although it did fall from the latter.
The inflatable slide, which is believed to have fallen from a United Airlines flight from Zurich, Switzerland, fell onto the roof of a northwest Chicago home, which suffered minor damage from the impact. Devitt told WLS that he found the silver-colored plastic slide in his backyard and dragged it to the street.
Meanwhile, miles away at Chicago O'Hare Airport, maintenance workers discovered that an emergency evacuation slide was missing from United Airlines Flight 12, a Boeing 767 that had recently landed following a flight from Zurich, Switzerland, according to the FAA. Devitt told WLS that United Airlines representatives came to his house later Monday to retrieve the slide.
