## Discrepancy

PREDEPLOYED, FOUND BOTTLE GAUGE BROKEN AND BAG TORN.  ASPIRATOR BENT.  ALL FLANGABLE LINKS POPPED A HOLE IN THE TOP TUBE, BLOWN OUT SEAM AND TORN FABRIC.  DEFECTS REPORTED BY THE OSV SHOP (WINSLOW) ARE OF A SLIDE/RAFT PREVIOUSLY INADVERTENTLY DEPLOYED BY CREW ON 12/17/2004 (IAD).  THERE WAS NO REPORTED ABNORMALITY DURING SLIDE DEPLOYMENT, HENCE THE REPORTED MULTIPLE DAMAGE ON THE SLIDE/RAFT ASSY FOUND IN THE SHOP ARE PROBABLY DUE TO MISHANDLING DURING SLIDE REMOVAL AND/OR TRANSPORTATION.
