Newly-surfaced video caught the moment a United Airlines plane dropped an emergency slide onto a Chicago neighborhood – where it damaged a family’s home before crashing into the backyard.

The slide damaged the roof, a window screen and a downspout of Laura and Patrick Devitt’s home on North Chester Avenue, just east of the airport, CBS News Chicago reported.
