Flightaware shows they were South of the border when they were circling, presumable to troubleshoot.

They also diverted the day before. I wonder if it is just a coincidence?

I'd bet it isn't a coincidence, but I don't gamble. If it is for the same reason then that brings up s whole set of new questions.

No record in airframes.org yet, too new?

With only 55 people maybe they should have all used the front slides only.....looks like quite a straight drop from the rear.

Maybe too low for the slide to work. Maybe ust use an oversize carryon for a step.

I wondered that too. Perhaps there was a small amount of smoke or fire from the nose sliding on the pavement when they started the evac.
