Passenger Filmed Wild but Fun Ride Down Plane's Emergency Slide

One passenger filmed their wild experience cruising down a Delta Air Lines plane's emergency slide, and it looked really fun.

"Soooo this happened the other day on my flight with delta," a person with the username johniquec wrote in a TikTok post on August 3.

The passenger's post included a location tag at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, suggesting that was where the incident took place.

"Come forward. Come this way," a flight attendant's voice could be heard as passengers proceeded toward the emergency slide in the video. "Come this way. Leave everything. Jump and slide."

"Woah," johniquec could be heard giggling as she went down the slide. Staff on the ground were there to help them up at the bottom of the slide.

In the second half of the video, johniquec said that the plane had gotten a flat tire because it had "landed so hard." Emergency personnel could be seen spraying jets of water at the area surrounding the plane's tire.

A representative for Delta Air Lines confirmed that the video was filmed on Delta Air Lines flight 1437. Flight 1437 had to deploy its emergency slides for passengers to deplane after bursting a tire while landing in Atlanta, Georgia, on August 2.

"Initial reports indicate that one of the aircraft's tires blew upon landing and components of the landing gear were hot," said the Delta representative. "Customers evacuated via emergency slides and were moved to the terminal via bus."

"We apologize to each for this experience – nothing is more important than the safety of our customers and crew," the representative added.

Some were surprised that johniquec could remain so cheerful during an emergency.

"I feel as though the presence of excessive laughter genuinely concerns me," said another person on TikTok.

But others found johniquec's experience amusing and wished they could have ridden the emergency slide as well.

"Lowkey always wanted to do that just never wanted the trauma behind having to use it, ya know?" one person said in a comment on TikTok.
