    Holy Shit Terrifying video shows South Korea plane door open during flight; man in custody

    By Timothy Nerozzi | FOXBusiness




    A plane passenger in South Korea is said to have opened the aircraft's emergency door during flight, violently blasting the interior with air and startling passengers and crew.

    Other passengers attempted to stop the suspect but failed to prevent him from partially opening the emergency exit door.

    The Asiana Airlines Airbus A321 aircraft was immediately filled with a whirlwind that disoriented passengers.

    Upon landing, the suspect was arrested by police on charges of violating aviation security laws.



    The plane was en route to the Daegu Airport in the southeastern region of the Korean peninsula.

    The suspect allegedly pulled open the emergency door while at a 700-feet altitude during the plane's descent.



    Twelve passengers were reportedly so affected by the blasting winds that they were taken to the hospital. Some of the affected passengers reported breathing issues and ear pain from the rapid decompression of the airplane cabin.

    The identity of the passenger who opened the emergency door and was arrested is currently unknown.

    Update Passenger who opened Asiana plane door in mid-air tells police he was “uncomfortable”: report

    Reuters News Service




    A passenger on an Asiana Airlines flight told police he opened a door on the plane minutes before it landed in Daegu, South Korea, on Friday because he was “uncomfortable,” Yonhap News Agency reported.

    The man, in his thirties, told police that he opened the door because he “wanted to get off the plane quickly”, Yonhap said, citing the Daegu Dongbu Police Station.

    He also told police he was stressed after losing his job recently.

    Reuters could not immediately reach police at the station.

    The man opened the door when the plane was about 700 feet above the ground, causing panic onboard.

    Nine passengers were sent to the hospital with breathing issues.

    All were dismissed from the hospital after about two hours, a fire department official said.

    Police plan to arrest the detained man after investigations conclude, Yonhap said.

    Jin Seong-hyun, a former Korean Air cabin safety official, said that as far has he knew, this case was unprecedented, but that passengers have opened emergency exits without authorisation while the plane is on the ground.

    A South Korean transport ministry official said yesterday that it was possible to open emergency exits at or near ground level because the pressures inside and outside the cabin were similar.
