Passenger Opens Emergency Exit Door Mid-Flight, Cites Feeling Suffocated
A flight from Jeju to Daegu in South Korea turned chaotic when a passenger opened the emergency exit door mid-flight. The incident caused air to blast inside the cabin, injuring twelve people. The man, a 33-year-old who was detained by police, claimed that he felt suffocated and wanted to get off the plane quickly as it descended while landing.
The man, who recently lost his job, reportedly suffered from stress, which may have contributed to his actions. If convicted, he could face up to 10 years in prison for violating aviation security laws.
Teenage Athletes Among Passengers
The plane was carrying 194 people, including teenage athletes on their way to a track and field competition. Fortunately, the plane landed safely despite the incident.
