A Manchester woman has filed suit against United Airlines claiming she was severely injured after the flight crew told her to jump 6 feet to the ground because of smoke in the cockpit. The flight crew exited through a stairway.

Elizabeth Daley claims the flight attendants on the June 2015 United Express Flight 4776 from Newark to Bradley Airport “were negligent and careless” by telling passengers to jump out the rear door onto the tarmac after landing. The entire flight crew lowered a stairway to exit the plane, the suit alleges.
