Shocking video captures plane’s emergency slide crashing outside Chicago home

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 surveillance footage posted by CBS News Chicago and and NBC Chicago shows the inflatable slide plummeting to earth as the Boeing 767 was preparing to land at O’Hare International Airport on Monday afternoon.

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.
