Good grief. Delta is going to run out of aircraft the way are they going through them: They crashed an MD-88 at LGA. A 747 was destroyed by hail. The wheel just fell off of a 777 at TLV. And now this. They need to get their act together.

A DL employee told me about an incident that happened not too long ago on the 717. One of the employees had their iPad setup on the center console when it slipped off and hit the fuel cut-off switches. Fortunately it happened during cruise and they got the engines restarted quickly. It could have been very bad bad it happened after takeoff or during landing.

Wow!! What is happening there?!? But there is no fires. I don't see why it has happened today.

Another rescue aircraft is on the way now.

And what's with the two people on the wing, facing the wrong direction from the arrows directing you off the wing, looking like they're doing some kind of hula dance?
