On a flight from Paris to Boston, a Delta Air Lines jet had a “wardrobe malfunction.” According to the Boston Herald, an uninflated evacuation slide fell from the jetliner into the yard of a suburban Boston home. The resident of the home told The Patriot Ledger he was doing yard work when the slide took out several branches of his Japanese maple. No one was hurt.

In Chattanooga, Tennessee, the Tennessee Aquarium is using an innovative way to light up a special Christmas tree. A special system connected to an electric eel named Miguel’s tank enables his shocks to power strands of lights on a nearby tree, the Associate Press reports. Miguel releases low-voltage blips of electricity when he is trying to find food, aquarist Kimberly Hurt said. That translates to a rapid, dim blinking of the Christmas lights. When he is eating or excited he emits higher voltage shocks which cause bigger flashes.
