The horse in the cargo hold probably pulled the bell cord for the next stop.

That first step from 30,000 feet is a doozy!

Can you help me find my carry-on bag I lost when sliding out?

"This is beyond a rookie error"
Hard to argue with that. You have to wonder how long the pilot's been with the airline, and how long he's going to be there.

I always wondered what that toggle switch did!

When the flight attendants say "armed and cross-checked" they are talking about the slide.
Lesson #1 on opening the door of a BAE Airbus (or Boeing, etc.) from the inside is how to disarm it. You move a lever from red to green — it's not complicated.

Ralph -- is it Red for Ready or Green for Go?
If the plane was going to Romania, the slide might be part of a vampire defense system

At least in a Boeing plane, the slide worked.
