BA Slide Mishap Costs Airline £100k (thesun.co.uk)

A British Airways cabin crew member accidentally deployed an emergency escape slide from the front door of a Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner in Seattle on Monday, costing the airline about £100,000. More than 250 passengers were stuck aboard until ground staff removed the chute so a walkway could be attached, delaying the return evening flight to Heathrow by nearly 90 minutes. The incident follows similar accidental slide activations by BA crew in Montreal last month, Brussels in January, and Mumbai, Nigeria and Texas last year.
