Emergency slide accidentally deploys on Trump's Qatar-gifted Air Force One
–
Neutral summary
President Donald Trump's departure to Dallas for the Republican midterm convention was briefly delayed on September 9 after an inflatable emergency slide accidentally deployed on the Qatar-gifted Boeing 747-8 serving as Air Force One. Military personnel triggered the slide by mistake, according to sources, while Trump told reporters that inspectors were “checking the slide” and that he was sure the jet was safe to fly. The president, who had to wait in his Marine One helicopter, said the check would take about 15 minutes and then boarded the aircraft. The incident renewed questions about the troubled introduction of the Qatari-donated plane, which Trump began using on July 1 after an accelerated renovation effort.
