The spokeswoman for the district attorney said that Steven Slater, a Jet Blue flight attendant, allegedly triggered an emergency evacuation chute on a plane stopped in the airport terminal of JFK.

According to Helen Peterson of the Queen’s District Attorney’s Office, Steven Slater was under arrest at his home and accused with reckless endangerment, criminal trespass and criminal mischief.

The law enforcement source with absolute knowledge said that the incident happened just after the flight of Jet Blue landed when a traveler stood to take away a bag from the overhead case while the plane was still taxiing. Slater exchanged words with the traveler and the discussion worsen.

In addition, Slater picked up the intercom and used curses directed at the travelers. It is not clear accurately what was Slater said on the intercom. According to the source, when the Jet Blue at stopped at the gate, Slater then took some beer form the cart of beverages before positioning the emergency slide and using it to renounce the plane.

Moreover, Ray Kelly, the Police Commissioner of New York, said that it appears that Slater quit his job in a very dramatic way. Furthermore, the law enforcement source said that the Port Authority police did not discover about the incident for about 20-25 minutes after it happened.

However, the public affairs of Jet Blue will not respond to that allegation. The Jet Blue will not also verify any information of the incident but said that the evacuation slide was positioned on a plane that had stopped at the gate after landing from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

The individuality of the passenger concerned in the argument has not been established. According to the rule, passengers are mandatory to remain in their seats with their seatbelts fastened until the pilot has arrived at the gate and gives the all clear sign.
