In the courtyard of a family from Massachusetts, an emergency inflatable ladder landed that fell out of an airplane. The incident did without human casualties.
The emergency gangway of the aircraft, which is used in emergency situations, randomly undocked from the Boeing during the flight. With the fall of the inflatable structure, people were not injured.
A random reset coincides with the flight from Paris to Boston last Sunday. When the plane approached Logan Airport in Boston, the pilot reported a “loud and mysterious noise,” but still managed to land the plane safely, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
How the dock was undocked in the air is unknown. An incident is being investigated. Fortunately, no one was injured except the maple tree growing in the backyard of a Massachusetts family.
An inflatable gangway is considered one of the mandatory safety measures for a commercial airliner. It inflates in about 10 seconds and allows passengers to safely leave the plane in case the pilot has made an emergency landing and needs to get out through emergency exits or windows. It is flat in the lower part of the door of the aircraft or adjacent compartments.
