According to a Queens, New York criminal complaint obtained by Forbes, that slide to freedom will likely cost him: Someone on JetBlues security staff tells the police that
the escape slide will cost upwards of $25,000 to replace.
The cost may not end there. The slide deployed at 3,000 pounds per square inch, and Queens District Attorney Richard Brown does not seem happy. The emergency chute deploys at 3,000 pounds per square inch within seconds and could easily injure or kill ground crews or others on the tarmac who are unaware the chute has been activated, he says in a press release. This would have been a far different arraignment if someone had been standing under the emergency chute when it deployed.
