On Nov 20, 2013, a JetBlue Embraer ERJ-190 to Boston from Fort Myers diverted to Orlando when an emergency slide emitted a loud bang, and deployed itself in the front galley of the plane.
There were four crew aboard and seventy-three passengers aboard flight B6-1266 who set out for Boston and ended up in Orlando. Passengers were evacuated in Orlando and transferred to a plane that didn’t have an emergency slide in the front galley pinning a flight attendant to the wall.
The flight attendant did not suffocate, but was assisted in freeing his head, apparently.
