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.

That is part of the problem. More fundamentally, Boeing hired GE executives and business consultant types who took the company from a focus on excellence in aerospace engineering to financial engineering.
“Admissable as evidence?”
Maybe, if he were suing the airline and/or maintenance company.
This is true.
I was referring to some duct tape like one of these:
But maybe the FAA would approve of something like this:
Technically that is duck tape. The women who came up with it were engaged in armaments industry during WWII. While duck tape is useful for ducts, they really did christen it as duck tape.
GOD DOES HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR
LOL...even when it comes to lawyers!
Something falling off of a 30+ year old 767-300 does not exactly equate to yet another Boeing problem. Boeing has plenty to answer for without being blamed for airline maintenance issues.
