On April 26, 2024, a Delta Air Lines flight departing from John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York was forced to return to the airport after an emergency slide detached from the aircraft. The plane, a Boeing 767, experienced the detachment shortly after takeoff [1]. The separation of the emergency slide from the jet led to an unusual vibrating noise in the cabin, prompting the pilots to turn back and circulate back to JFK Airport for an emergency landing [2].

Upon the return of the flight to the airport, it was discovered that the emergency slide was missing from one of the jet's doors. The occurrence caused concerns among passengers and crew, as they were unsure of the extent of the damage done to the aircraft. Fortunately, the flight landed without any further incident [3]. The detachment of the slide led to anxiety amongst travelers, who were grateful for the safe landing but expressed their worries and sought reassurance about the safety of the aircraft [4].

In response to the incident, the airline investigated the cause of the detachment of the emergency slide and assured passengers that the safety and security of travelers were their top priority. The incident resulted in the deployment of emergency services at the airport as a precautionary measure [5]. Delta also confirmed that the plane remained grounded pending a thorough check-up to ensure the safety of future flights [6]. With concerns raised by passengers about the adequacy of the safety measures taken by the airline, Delta announced an in-depth review of its safety procedures [7].

The occurrence of the emergency slide detaching mid-flight from the Delta Boeing aircraft caused a stir among the passengers, crew, and aviation authorities, leading to investigations into the cause of the detachment and subsequent safety checks [8].
