Emergency exit slide FALLS off Delta Airlines Boeing 767 in NYC
26-APR-2024
Delta Airlines Boeing 767-332ER, performing flight DL-520 from New York JFK, NY to Los Angeles, CA (USA) returned to John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK/KJFK) after the in-flight loss of a right-hand side emergency slide.
The FAA reported:
"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 Boeing 767 was headed to Los Angeles International Airport.
The FAA will investigate."

To create these videos, I keep my ear to the ground on major aviation news and events. I check the dates and time zones to see if I can find recordings of the radio conversations. Then, I become a bit of a broken record myself, listening to them repeatedly to create subtitles and identify key moments. Finally, I whip up some animations (or grab them from ADS-B websites) and combine them into a neat package.

Lotta people confusing airframe issues with what is obviously maintenance related.
All these malfunctions are intentional!
Exactly
The title is more click bait. It should say “AGAIN MAINTENANCE”?
@@thefreedomguyuk 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Again Boeing? It's a 30 year old airplane. This has nothing to do with Boeing.
I Agree! Stop the speculation! That's a maintenance issue NOT a Boeing issue!!
The aircraft is 34 years old. Beside this and a birdstrike back in 2016, no other incidents recorded.
Creator is probably trying to feed into the algorithm with the again Boeing title, KZhead is a tough mistress However, a delta plane also had a slide deploy a couple weeks ago while in ground and hit a catering truck iirc. Also older plane. So probably should be again delta 😅
Well they did run one out of fuel and land on an abandoned runway in Canada, not the fault of the aircraft though that was pilot error and ground crew .
@@hefoxedI saw a video here about that slide deploying and hitting the truck but I can’t find it now. Do you know how to find it? Thanks.
@@MrCubflyerI believe that was later given the name “The Gimli Glider,” from landing the Air Canada 767 safely on the abandoned RCAF military airfield runway at Gimli, Manitoba. It was a metric vs. Imperial units conversion miscalculation during refueling. The pilots eventually were given an award for airmanship for both a very long glide and safe landing. The Captain had previously been a very experienced pilot flying real gliders. One article is here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gimli_Glider
@@hefoxed I wrote you a long Reply about the other Delta 767 Exit Slide hitting the truck, but it was deleted inadvertently during an Edit. It was April 15, 2024 at Gatwick. Several news reports on it via standard Google search. My fault - 72 y/o with bad vision, fingers and probably cognition. Thanks for mentioning it here.
Delta maintenance not Boeing!
Thanks Boeing simp!
Relax, man. Boeing only kills whistleblowers, not internet commenters. At least, so far.
Again Boeing? What a dumb header as Delta has been flying 767's for 41 years and it has an amazing safety and reliability rating. STUPID headline
Thank you! Seems piling on to Boeing is “all the rage “ now. Not meaning to slap Delta, but this was a maintenance issue!
agreed. These folks are outta control ripping on Boeing without knowing the facts of this particular flight.
RIght... and it's not surprising that parts are starting to fall off 41-year--old Delta aircraft. ;-)
Extremely stupid headline. I have flown the Delta 767 transatlantic 10 times, excellent aircraft and crew ! But clearly a maintenance issue here.
😂 tell me you're a shareholder without telling me you're a shareholder
This is a maintenance problem not Boeing.
Or an age problem. The plane is almost 34 years old and with only around 10,000 hours of life left (the Boeing 767 has a life limit of 60,000 flight cycles or 150,000 hours, whichever comes first).
This plane is over 20 years old. Clearly a maintenance issue.
Try nearly 34 years old. It has been with Delta since it was delivered new in 1990.
The 767 has an excellent record. This is a random, albeit bizarre, maintenance event. Boeing is an easy target, I know, but at least know your problematic aircraft, guys. The 757/767 line is proven and becoming missed as they age. This is pure clickbait.
As many have said below, it is important to distinguish between engineering issues (737 Max) and airline maintenance issues. The mainstream media likes to 'pile-on'.
Well they have good reason with the poor job of the regulatory agencies. Three strikes and you are out. Boeing was long given the benefit of the doubt for far too long and look where it landed the traveling public. I would argue that "piling" it on in the media has done more to put Boeing and its stockholders on notice than anything the FAA or NTSB have done. Boeing deserves all that it gets and more. Lives have been lost and the culture remains the same. Keep the light shining on Boeing until its management has been thoroughly changed.
It's fairly apparent the media has it out for Boeing for some reason. If there were any real journalist/reporters left you would have been told that this (as stated in so many comments) is NOT A BOEING issue as it is a maintenance/inspection issue.
Professionalism on display for both pilots and controllers.
So far no word as to where on the ground the slide landed...
Has nothing to do with Boeing and there planes. It 30 plus years old. It all up to the airlines maintenance center or a part failure. It happens.
The FAA cannot let these mechanical issues slide.
Pun intended? I liked it whether or not you planned it!
They will !
@@thefreedomguyukthey won't. It will be investigated and changes made where needed as has been for the past several decades. Stop your slander.
@@bbayerit Yes! 😀
@@RHINOTEJAS Fantastic! Still grinning over it!
The reporting of this incident has been downright poor. Most people associate an emergency exit slide with those mounted on the inside of an entry/exit door of an airliner. This Emergency Exit slide is one which deploys from the fuselage near the trailing edge (the rear end) of the wing to allow passengers using the "over-wing emergency exits" to safely get off the wing and onto the ground.
The plane left Boeing 20+ years ago. Do better.
Ignorant headline on this. "AGAIN BOEING?" Folks, this airplane is 34 years old and has been through so many maintenance checks since it was first built and has so many new parts on it its barely the same airplane it was when it left the assembly line. No one in their right mind can pass the blame for this incident off to Boeing. This is purely a Delta Maintenance issue.
And where do you think those "new parts" came from? And who would install the more important systems? When you buy aircraft you buy their parts and their service manuals among many other things. When major overhauls come around a lot of work is contracted with the experts from the manufacturer. So much has been hidden, covered up, and glossed over by Boeing and its 'close' relationship with the FAA, Congress, etc. that we will never know what glitches caused what problems in the past and importantly in the future as long as the culture remains unchanged. The heading is quite appropriate and well deserved. In three or four years the FAA may deem to let us know what caused the problem or they may not so in the meantime I will go Airbus.
@@douglasthompson2740 it’s on the airline. Period.
@@douglasthompson2740 Delta has their own repair facilities and most of their own maintenance including heavy maintenance. This issue has zero to do with Boeing other than it’s a Boring jet. It has everything to do with Delta Tech Ops not doing something correctly.
I was questioning what part of NY or Long Island Sound did the emergency slide detach and drop off this flight? It's a big and bright integral component to go unnoticed. There was no mention as to where this may have happened
I just asked the channel owner of FR the same thing. The Delta lawyers must be on overtime.
Edit: For those who didn't see it, the original title was "AGAIN, BOEING?" or such, then the rest of it as seen. Obviously they've changed the title. That's why you see so many of these similar comment here. Commentary otherwise left unchanged from my original an hour ago: Unfair to Boeing here. So many 767s flying with this system. It's had one other incident, a bird strike. C'mon do better. Not gonna watch, not gonna like, but had to comment. Worst case this is Delta, but even then I do not think they pack slides, they swap them out. Slide company may be the problem here. But not Boeing, not until there's a rampant issue with these.
Coming straight in has a totally different meaning to me
Well at least no one lost their phone to decompression this time... probably.
Stupid and uninformed statement.
@@wmmccoy01 It’s just vindictive useless sarcasm to diss Boeing with no constructive purpose or reference to evidence.
@@wmmccoy01 A much more immediate and serious issue is where the slide fell off and whether it caused ground casualties.
@@richardjohnson455 since there's been no reports of that ( and that would have been all over the news) I guess there was none.
Ouch.
Someone got a free slide for the summer!
time out! that title is a bit unfair. old ass plane and how about the maintenance team, failed to reinstall it properly. I expect that caption from news media.
It can also be part failure/fatique Not sure from Delta, but have heard that some airliners are reducing maintenance checks/testing. So could also be management.
KC-46 which is a Boeing 767 derivative was known to have these issues, sounds like it's an engineering problem
no
read it again it is an old plane.
Damn Boeing, You cant get anything right, Your brand new Boeing Airbus B767-3neo's are all falling apart.
Fly Airbus, see the World, Fly Boeing, see the next one! Even if it was a maintenance problem, why do they happen more and more often? Good maintenance requires well-trained technicians, given enough time to do their job correctly. All costs money, but what pricetag has a human life? German maintenance guys get educated over a period of 3 years
I'm sure you don't know this but Boeing airframes are 44% of those in the sky, where Airbus, 22%. Does that help any?
at about the 2:00 mark, is he reporting the # of passengers (pax) onboard vs the # of souls?
SOP
it used to be enough not to fly, now you can't live near an airport for 💩 falling off planes. Disgusting
If it’s Boeing, I’m not going!
Good, more room for me when I'm flying 757 to ATL. Dumba$$.
Was the slide recovered?
It's gonna be a ride at Coney Island when it opens in May. 😉
Obviously facts don’t convince thickets. Boeing builds great airplanes. Customers maintain them.
33 year old plane
If it is a danger because of its age, then it shouldn't be flying! When they design it they give the number of flight cycles it is rated for. If it hasn't reached that number with proper maintenance, then it is a design problem and still resides with Boeing. Sorry, no get home free cards for Boeing. They have used them all up!
@@douglasthompson2740 It is not a danger because of it's age. The 767 is an excellently designed and built aircraft. Boeing used to build them well. It is still within it's design age. I'm sure Delta keeps up with it and it's cycles. This was a friggin' SLIDE, man. It happens. I lost one once(on the ground). I also lost the tailcone from an MD-82 on climb out departing from PHL. That was not a Boeing...but it was a black eye on our maintenance department. Amazingly, neither event made even the local news, because nobody had an agenda to try and make money. This video is embarrassing clickbait.
The female controller sounds like the same one from the BA 747 stabilized approach/speed video.
ATC wants to know the hours of fuel on board not the quantity. 72K lbs on one aircraft could be 5 hours; on another it could be 2 hours, not that it really matters. If it is only 30 minutes of fuel then yes it matters.
Fire fighters need to know the quantity of fuel on board. ATC pass on this information.
Where over the sky did the emergency slide detach from this flight? No mention of it in the radio transmissions between flight crew and ATC…
Over the sky? How high do you have to fly to get over the sky? 😉
Does anyone yet know when and where it fell? Any casualties?
@Flight_Records: it’s only been a short time since this incident, but you’ve already been asked >2 times about the fate of the missing slide. Would you please at least answer about where it fell and what happened to it, or at least if you know any more about it? I imagine Delta and its lawyers and investigators started scrambling to locate it starting the moment they learned of this. Thank you, Dr. J
Apologies for missing some comments. I saw the incident on Avherald website and immediately checked for if the atc audio on LiveATC. I couldn't get to some parts initially, but I managed to obtain them after uploading the video. However, the video was already up. The pilot reports an issue with the emergency exit slide at 17,000 feet. I believe that's when the incident occurred.
@@the_flight_recordsMany thanks, TFR! I found nothing more from any news or social media networks about the slide outcome as of a few minutes ago from several news videos found via Google. Did you get any idea of where the plane might have been at that 17,000 feet report? Dr. J.
I guess over Westchester County Airport.
Interestingly enough we have the ability to pick a doctor, dentist, lawyer, auto mechanic, plumber, heck even a dog walker but can’t pick our pilots or type of aircraft when we go traveling thru the atmosphere at 70-80% of the speed of sound. We can’t even see the age of the plane or see the background of the pilots who are in the business end of the plane.
You CAN apparently pick your aircraft type on some, possibly many, reservations services. I’ve read several reports of people choosing their flight aircraft to avoid 737 MAX airframes.
@@richardjohnson455 I flew the 757Max all over Mexico. Smooth and comfortable flights.
@@wmmccoy01 I’ve never flown on a 737 MAX to my knowledge, but I reported my comment above after reading that some airline passengers have begun to select their reservations very carefully to avoid certain airframes they don’t trust, specifically various 737 MAX variants and perhaps other Boeing models. I believe it was reported starting some time after the original 2 737 MAX crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia attributed to MCAS. Did you mean 737 or 757 in your comment about flying in Mexico? Were you a pilot or passenger? Thanks.
@@richardjohnson455 yea, fear porn will do that to ignorant people. BTW, I don't mean ignorant as a insult, most are just ignorant of flying and what it entails.
You most certainly get detailed information on the aircraft you're flying, down to its ICANN code.
Surprised that the controllers flight strip didn't show that the acft departed JFK meaning he had to ask
Not everything that happens on a Boeing is a manufacturing defect. Many items can be traced to airline maintenance failure. I see a trend in your content that wants to blame Boeing for everything
should be ok...things falling off aircraft is normal...
Hey, something fell out of the sky! Oh, a Boeing must have overflown. They have a super effective weight shaving program. Didn't know that maintenance designed the aircraft!! But it makes me all warm and fuzzy that the FAA is on the case! Maybe they will reattach the parts for Boeing? Seems Boeing is hiring people to root for them in the comments. So far we do not know what the cause is but we do know that Boeing has an overwhelming number of causes. I will just go with the odds and not fly with them. Most likely we will find it was a design flaw enhanced by poor quality replacement parts with poor maintenance guidelines and manuals that have "disappeared". Just one more "quality escape" in Killer Calhoun's view, nothing to worry about.
If it's a Boeing, parts will be going...
Listening to European ATC, I lately run into quite a few Airbuses diverting due to smoke & fumes in the cockpit or cabin. Should I go to Airbus incident videos and say "If it's Airbus, it will fry us"? 😅
You probably don't realize that 43% of the planes in the sky in the US are Boeing whereas 21% are Airbus. Overall, Boeing has a good record except with the fear porn crowd.🙄
@@BlueSkyUp_EU 1 Airbus but well over 15 Boeing / Donald Mc Douglas Planes have been lost due to in flight fire. Bad example.
thats not necessary
@@beyondEVAnd when was the last one for any of those?
😮Did the slide land on a random professor's lawn too? Avoiding flying Boeing like the plague
They want to stop all flights !
Good, more room for me.
Is it a Boeing issue or is it a maintenance issue with airlines. How are planes regularly inspected
Way to go Brandon… oops! I meant Boeing!🤦🏼🤦🏽🤦🏿
boeing doing their ford impression.deliver the junk & get your money FIRST. then do all the repairs thru recalls.
This plane is 34 years old, dummy.
The title is unfair. This aircraft first flew in November 1990. We should be asking why is a major flag carrier still operating a 33+ year old aircraft? Boeing certainly bears responsibility for many issues but this is not one of them.
Lack of new a/c coming online so using old a/c in the interim?!
Who still flies 767???
Best plane ever
Really!? One of the most successful airframes to come from Boeing.
Man you gotta love with the ignorant and stupid decide to announce to the world exactly how dumb they are.
Delta and United, with 66 and 53 in their fleets respectively. That is because it is a fantastic airplane, even if it is near retirement. Enjoy them while you still can!
This has nothing to do with Boeing. I use to respect this channel but your decision to title this video that, has seriously decreased that respect
I'm glad I don't subscribe.
Awesome job on this video! Another month, another Boeing part falls off
Nothing to do with Boeing.
This video is terrible. Pure clickbait.
@@claycassin8437No, the video is very interesting and worth watching. The title is not the best.
Nothing out of the ordinary there for Boeing.
When you’re in the most abundant aircraft flying, you can’t blame Boeing. Try labeling the airline instead.
Amazing the preflight walk-around didn't catch the loose panel
If its Boeing the door is going.
So sick of these old airplanes being Boeing's fault. Is it Toyota's problem if a door falls off of your 3 year old car. Get over it. And don't call me stupid!!!!!
3 years old? Probably their fault.. 30 years old.. no, not their fault.
Shirley you're joking...
@@kentuckybowl-o-sticks No I am not joking. Same old thing the American way now, Blame it on someone else!!!!
@@sharonshoop495 That was an "Airplane" joke... SHARON. Remember: " ...AND STOP CALLING ME 'SHIRLEY'!" SEE? I called you "SHIRLEY", not "STUPID"... oh, NEVER MIND 😂
Yeah, it is Toyota's problem if the steering fails, the engine explodes, or the doors fall off. Where have you been living? If a door falls off a three year old car the manufacturer is going to have a very major problem. It is called product liability. A product must perform as it was intended and that would include getting from one airport to another with all the parts on board. Planes are sold with a lifetime measured in landing takeoff cycles. They had better be able to accomplish them with appropriate maintenance or the company is liable.
Because...accountants.
I'm not convinced of that. Look deeper.
@@POVwithRC Fair enough.
@@POVwithRC The bean counters have been in charge there for the last several years.
@@williamedwards1528 Delta's accountants, maybe.
Because.....Stop climate change, and instate our NWO ! 😮
I wouldn't trust Boeing to give my lawnmower a service.
Delta is getting as worse as United Airline.
Too bad you think you have to title the video implying another Boeing issue. You deserve thumbs down .
He got one from me.
everyone talking about how boeing is not to blame; DEI hiring is to blame. the fact that boeing embraces DEI hiring practices indicates that boeing only cares about 1 thing. money. and we all know that money's value follows a simple formula known as TVM, and boeing are the only ones who seem to really care about the current value over future value, except for the city of chicago. Let us not forget that Boeing writes the manuals and recommends the training of the maintenance crews. these things are expensive to do perfectly. so their money grubbing racist brains half ass the recommendations instead of just not doing it, because if an airplane company decided to not send over a manual for the planes, it would be bad for the stock.
Of corse boeing
Relax. The plane is 34 years old. Its a Delta maintanance issue.
All the simping for Boeing in the comments is....funny. Cheer on girls, cheer on.
You wouldn’t know the difference if they took out the cards on the seat back.
what you call simping is pointing out reality. Pathetic and stupid when people like you think that ONLY negativity should be pointed at a company. Not even sure why we allow animals with your mindset to continue living tbh.
@@JAMESWUERTELE Sick burn. Sick. 🤣
@@JAMESWUERTELE Could literally use a Lockheed Constellation Safety Card from a Connie.
Imagine being the sort of bell end who parrots hot takes on a topic they have no idea about. Boeing did not perform the three yearly remove, inspect and replace of this slide. Delta did. Boeing did not mess up that process, leading to this incident. Delta did. You need to go back.
This is the result of accountants not engineers running Boeing……sad
This is a Delta maintenance issue, not a Boeing one. The plane was built over 30 years ago.
Hey, Dummy. This plane is 34 years old.
A slide failure on an otherwise excellent 33 year old 767 is an accountant's mistake? Huh? Do you know anything about aircraft maintenance and WHO is responsible for it?
@@claycassin8437 no, I know nothing, only 17 years as a navigation officer, safety officer, ops controller and instructor……go away you ignorant prat
In that case it was not the fault of Boeing. Either it was an installation or maintenance error or simply a failure of the material.
I don’t think Boeing is at fault for a door falling off of a 34 year old 767. Do better.
767 uses powered operated door just like on the DC-10, and Lockheed Tristar.
This is a maintenance issue with Delta. It has nothing to do with Boeing. Too bad you dont report ALL the issues with Airbus. You would have a video every single day, maybe more often than that. Talk to the real experts. We pilots know the difference between quality and crap.
Yup.
...and Boeing has twice the number of airframes flying in the US over Airbus.
@@wmmccoy01 Yes, and Airbus planes are in the shop for unscheduled maintenance 6 times more than Boeing. Pilots have nicknamed them "Airbust" which says it all.
Delta's maintenance contractor's contractor. 😛
why do people still fly boeing??? its not safe!
I wonder how many fatalities there have been in Mercedes automobiles...
This plane is 34 years old, dummy..
I'm never flying on Boeing.
Please don’t comment on some thing you’re not educated on. It is a maintenance issue with Delta. Not a Boeing product issue. Big difference.
The 767 is perfectly safe. So is the 757. Boeing's problems are type and age specific, as in their newer ones suck. These older planes were built when Boeing still knew how to build them. I will get on one any day. I will NOT get on a 737 Max, 777, or 787.
