Passengers aboard a Delta flight to Los Angeles came across a frightening scene when the plane's emergency slide accidentally deployed inside the cabin, injuring a crew member.
According to a Delta spokesperson, Delta flight 520 operating from New York to Los Angeles had to be diverted to Salt Lake City due to a maintenance issue."In an effort to get our customers to their final destination as quickly and safely as possible, they were re-accommodated on a new aircraft," said the spokesperson in a statement sent to ABC7.
All 168 passengers were taken off the plane and re-boarded after the problem was fixed. Many were left confused about what was going on. "It was super chaotic and they didn't really tell us what happened. I had no idea that it was the slide that deployed," said passenger Fiona Kane. "It looked like the plane just completely collapsed. All the passengers were like in a state of fear and confusion and the flight attendants didn't really know what was going on either."Meanwhile, the injured crew member was taken to a hospital and has since been discharged.
