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.

N161SY...looks like first flight was in June of this year for delivery to Skywest in United Express livery. Pretty new bird.

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.
