Re: Delta passenger opens door, deploys emergency exit slide..
I wonder why that passenger decided they needed to get off the plane by sliding down the emergency exit slide? What happened prior to them making such an irresponsible decision? This person definitely needs to be put on a no fly list……..at least the plane was still on the ground. It could have been so much worse.
