I love that they find a slide that dropped out of a plane, then shortly after they find a plane that’s missing its slide, and they say “it appears to be the slide in question.” Yeah, I’d say that’s a pretty good bet.
I’m almost certain that any part large enough to be serialized is, so that it can be traced back to manufacture. They could definitely tell which plane that came from, and the serial number(s) of the missing slide. Bet you $5 they’re the same. (And any parts too small to be serialized are recorded in maintenance logs or something, and can still be traced.)
