Video has been released showing the Jet Blue flight attendant — also known formerly as ‘the new American folk hereo’ — jumping off his flight by deploying the emergency chute last week.
The most illuminating part of the video is it shows the plane at the gate, not sitting out on the tarmac. He simply could have walked off the plane the way normal people do.
Bob Collins retired from Minnesota Public Radio in 2019 after 12 years of writing NewsCut and pointing out to complainants that posts weren’t news stories. A son of Massachusetts, he was a news editor 1992-1998, created the MPR News regional website in 1999, invented the popular Select A Candidate, started several blogs, and every day lamented that his Minnesota Fantasy Legislature project never caught on.
