Hi all and greetings from Australia!

As the programme is not airing down here as far as I'm aware, could someone please briefly exaplian what the issue was with the faulty slide?

I know for B737-200s the slide is engaged manually by clipping the girt-bar into a slot at the door sill. I'm not sure that there is any other indicator aside from the manual inspection. Was the aircraft in question a 737-800 and if so, is there a secondary indicator to show that the door is armed?

With thanks in advance,
