A Delta flight attendant is going viral after accidentally deploying the emergency slide at the gate. Everyone makes mistakes at work, they just aren't often this public.

Have you ever messed up at work? Of course you have! Has that mistake ever gone viral online? Probably not! Unfortunately, that's now reality for this Delta flight attendant. Thankfully, nobody was injured but it was a costly mistake. Paddle Your Own Kanoo says it could cost the airline $70k!

Paddle Your Own Kanoo says it happened at the Pittsburgh Airport. Sounds like the flight attendant did end up apologizing to the passengers. Can't blame them for apologizing as the pilots ended up being stuck onboard the plane for much longer than anticipated.

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.
