A Delta plane flying from New York’s Kennedy Airport to Los Angeles on June 10 experienced technical problems twice in a day. The second malfunction led to the hospitalization of the flight attendant, writes the New York Post.
The plane first made an unscheduled landing in Utah due to technical problems. And then, when he was ready to take off again, an air slide accidentally unfolded inside the cabin for an emergency disembarkation of passengers and injured the flight attendant. The victim was taken to the hospital.
The Boeing 767-300 took off for Los Angeles from JFK with 168 passengers on board around 7 am on June 10. Soon the pilot announced that they would have to land in Salt Lake City (Utah) due to technical problems. According to the captain, the aircraft’s backup anti-icing system broke down, and it was unsafe to fly without it. The plane landed without incident, passengers were asked to leave the airliner while repairs were being made.
Around 13:00 Utah time, the anti-icing system was repaired and the aircraft was ready for takeoff. The passengers boarded again, sat down in their seats, and then a second malfunction occurred, much more frightening and traumatic. An emergency disembarkation slide at the rear of the aircraft inflated into the cabin, hitting a Delta crew member in the head. He was taken to the hospital. Sources said that the slide was somehow accidentally activated by the injured flight attendant himself.
One passenger said the slide “exploded” inside the plane and knocked the panel out of the door.

Passengers were dropped off again, witnesses say they looked shocked and a little scared. Eventually, at 4:00 pm Utah time, they left for Los Angeles on another plane. The airline gave passengers 7,500 miles for the inconvenience.
A Delta spokesperson later said the injured flight attendant had “already been released home” from the hospital.
