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.

Truth really is stranger than fiction!
The Lord works in mysterious ways
How convenient.
WOW I would call this a divine intervention!!!
He's no ordinary lawyer, either. Look how it all... Links up, because
"Jake Bissell-Linsk"
is really going to really clean up with this lawsuit.
The company even has a red delta for a logo.
Compare the similarities, folks. Nice touch!
The message here today and every day is that nobody but nobody outpuns the Master of the Universe.
Now I don't know off-hand if Jake is an ambulance-chaser, but it's obvious from the photo that the emergency slide fell straight for the siren song. Crashed right on the rocks!

With hyphenated last names, when the kids, say Smith-Jones gets married to Harris-Dodd do their last names become Smith-Jones-Harris-Dobbs? Or Smith-Harris-Jones-Dobbs? If they have long Polish names, it might take the grandkids until 3rd grade to be able to spell their name.
When I read the headline I thought it must be the Babylon Bee.
This qualifies for an X-Files episode!
Kind of a horse head in the bed warning?
TFOA?
For some reason, God clearly loves this attorney
You mean duck tape? AKA gray cloth tape?
Of high-speed take? AKA aluminized metal tape?

Boeing seems snake bit these days.
I’d recommend that waterproof tape they advertise on TV. Got some at a Northern Tool and the stuff really works.
Heh, I laughed...what’s that expression...in that part of the country you couldn’t swing a cat without hitting a lawyer!
I thought slides were mounted INTERNALLY below the door’s threshold, but INside the fusealage.
If so, how does such a thing “fall OFF?”
