Flight Fiasco: Passenger’s Hair-Raising Antics

A reckless passenger, endangering the lives of nearly 200 travelers and crew members, shockingly opened an emergency exit mid-flight, revealing his distress and impatience to disembark the aircraft, revealed South Korean authorities on Saturday.

According to Guardian, an Asiana Airlines domestic flight narrowly averted disaster, thanks to mere seconds, as it approached Daegu international airport, located approximately 150 miles south-east of Seoul. Yonhap News Agency highlighted the tense situation that unfolded on board.

The individual, who confessed to police, mentioned feeling breathless and cited recent job loss as a source of stress. Investigators suspect that his actions stemmed from a fit of frustration, intending harm to himself and others.

Triggering panic among passengers, the man brazenly unlatched the door when the plane hovered about 700 feet (213m) above the ground.
