CHICAGO — It wasn't a bird or a plane hurtling from the sky, although it did fall from the latter.
An emergency slide fell from a plane and landed outside of a home near O'Hare Airport in Chicago, July 17, 2023. -- Laura DevittCHICAGO — It wasn’t a bird or a plane hurtling from the sky, although it did fall from the latter.
The inflatable slide, which is believed to have fallen from a United Airlines flight from Zurich, Switzerland, fell onto the roof of a northwest Chicago home, which suffered minor damage from the impact. "When it's all stretched out...it's larger than a small car. It's a very, very big piece of equipment that fell," Devitt said. He also said he called 911, after which FAA officials arrived to investigate.
United Airlines confirmed that the flight was carrying 155 customers and 10 crew. United Airlines said in a statement that immediately contacted the FAA, which is not investigating the matter.
