$100K Mistake: Delta Flight Attendant Accidentally Deploys Airbus A220 Emergency Slide

A Delta Air Lines Airbus A220, which was operating Delta Air Lines Flight 3248 from Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT) to Salt Lake City (SLC), ultimately suffered from an inadvertent emergency exit slide deployment while at Pittsburgh’s Gate D2. The incident occurred on the morning of October 26, 2025. The door in question was the first door on the left side of the aircraft, and the door was opened while still armed, something which resulted in the evacuation slide blowing onto the ramp.
