An emergency slide that fell off of a Delta passenger jet shortly after take-off last week reportedly turned up two days later outside the home of a lawyer whose firm is coincidently suing the Boeing plane manufacturer over safety issues.

Jake Bissell-Linsk, whose firm filed suit against Boeing after one of its planes lost a door plug mid-air back in January, said he discovered the deflated slide washed up outside his oceanfront home near New York City’s John F. Kennedy International Airport on Sunday.

“I didn’t want to touch it but I got close enough to get a close look at it,” he told The New York Post of the bizarre discovery along the shore of Belle Harbor, Queens.

      They don’t like rich lawyers. Few do.

      But we do want lawyers skilled enough to be able to hurt major corporations, and then expect them to work cheap.

      It’s not all that hard to understand when you’re downtrodden. But it is a bit counterproductive in my opinion. (That aimed at the original commenter, not at you, though I am sympathetic to both viewpoints.)
