A Delta Air Lines spokeswoman tells the Boston Herald that the uninflated slide fell from flight DL405 (B767) from Paris to Boston around noon Sunday.

The Federal Aviation Administration says the pilot reported a loud noise as the plane approached Logan Airport and landed safely.

Police in Milton, south of Boston, alerted the agency that the slide had been found in a resident’s yard.

Wenhan Huang tells The Patriot Ledger he was doing yard work when the slide took out several branches of his Japanese maple.

While the manufacturer may say it was unlucky, it was luck no one was killed on the ground.
