A Delta Air Lines flight that departed from John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City was forced to make an emergency return to the airport Friday morning after an emergency slide came apart from the Boeing 767, the airline said. A search for the slide was ongoing.

Who made the airplane probably has nothing to do with this incident. Most likely culprit is maintenance related. Really the most responsible thing people can do is wait for the NTSB to issue a statement as to the likely cause and not just jump to conclusions.
