Luckily he didn’t do it while the plane was in the air……settle down people
The vaxx is making people loose their mind. It will get worse.
Good thing they were not in the air!
How convenient that nbcnews just happened to be there. No coincidence there’s never a coincidence. It’s not like they ever have an agenda
Next on NBC News a trump supporter who believes in the hunter laptop jumps out of a plane
Why do I keep hearing deplane 😖😖😖😖😖 next I’ll here Uber driver telling me to DeCar or the MTA conductors telling passengers to Detrain because the train won’t Derail 😖😖😖😖😖
What is going on with insane people and airplanes
Hey when you got to go …… you got to go !!
I’d love to here his reasoning as to why he did it.
Me too, the reasons for crazy people doing insane things can be very entertaining.
Pretty awesome that all these US IDIOTS are fing up everything that will impose more restrictions on everyone
Good job Karen’s and Chad’s
We have GOT to start taking mental health issues seriously in this country. People are going mad, and everyone is just pretending it’s all normal. It’s not. There are tens of millions of people who are borderline insane out there today going completely untreated, and mixing among each other and pushing each other further over the edge.
This is the natural outcome of allowing people to pretend that “alternative facts” are a thing and elevating a life-long pathological liar to the highest office of the land. People in every corner of life, no matter what side they’re on or what their beliefs are now going off the rails. I worry that we’re in an irrecoverable state because the rest of us aren’t coming together and working responsibly to save the country.
Must of been a TikToker
People have lost it.
You’re on the ground taxing so I wouldn’t be that worry either. Now if it was about to take off then that’s a different can of worms.
this guy is a badass
Where they out of chicken nuggets?
IT WAS A BLACK MAN THAT OPENED THE DOOR. HE ACTED AS IF HE OWNED THE AIRPLANE AND HE COULD DO WHAT EVER HE WANTED. I GUESS YOU CAN CALL THIS BLACK PRIVILEGE IN 2022.
What do they charge him with? Exiting an aircraft?
More likely this video should not expose because then other idiots will be “oh ok” 👍
I am always afraid that some insane or suicidal person will open the emergency door while the plane is cruising in the air and thousands of kilometres aboveground.
I always wanted to go down the giant inflatable yellow slide. Remember a few years ago when that fed up flight attendant had it and exited via slide
She looks like karen busybody leftist.
Maybe he was just excited about the release of the McRib from McDonald’s and had to have one immediately 🤔
The world got worse when Trump became president
I have to blame media for these types of actions. They plant seeds with their details and wait for more… 10 seconds of fame
No real risk of an accident?? What if he had fallen off the plane wing and gotten run over while it was still moving??
I blame white privilege
The guy was black from Chicago
Ban ALL alcohol at airports across the country, as well as onboard the airplanes. This is ridiculous!
I Bet He Was 🤣🤣🤣 impatient MF
Are those doors not locked?
I bet he won’t get any jail time. The legal system will just wring as much money as it can out of him.
That’s federal he should clean freeways
Thank god he didn’t open it with the plane in the air. That would have been devastating
They just keep getting dumber. The airlines will now have to screen passengers and ask them if they do you tube or tic tok for a side gig and then take their phones away from them during the flight until they are back in the terminal.
perfect idea no phones in the airport at all. Confiscate them at TSA checkpoint
Lol imagine freaking out & “knowing” you must exit the plane & going to jail for doing so. 🤭🤣😂
One Side Effect of Covid Vaccine.
His gf’s parents weren’t home
Mental health disorder is an ever growing problem in the US.
it’s so bad
Theres a long as safety process afterwards too
Liberal states representing 👍👏👏👏
He may have been on meds that are not supposed to have been mixed with alcohol, and then may have drank on the flight. I had a friend once who was on anti-anxiety meds; and then when he started drinking alcohol, he became mentally unstable.
That’s It ! I’m not particularly fond of the way China handles its people that speaks out about but it’s more than obvious that here in the states , it’s about times we start making a certain group of people just vanish into thin air !
Wth. Poor flight attendants.
“Sir, you need to get off this flight.”
“I am already kicking myself off this flight!” *opens emergency exit and leaves
Arriving from CA, this doesn’t surprise me, maybe he escaped and was overly anxious. Not sure he realizes his arrival location of Chicago, IL and how things are there in general.
That was San Diego not Florida
Are he crazy????
I think we all clicked on This video because we all thought the plane was in the air😮
I guess he didn’t want to see his mother that much
😆
People are strange little creatures. Open door slides down weeeeee!
Passenger – he’s gonna go to jail
Police – this dude is a nutcracker head.
You’re not in “good hands” if there aren’t enough staff to keep this from happening. He should be forever banned from flying.
oh please people sit next to that door. There can’t be a babysitter for everything in life,
Can we get any stupider?
mentally ill or a tik tokr or a mentally ill tik tokr. The internet has damaged everyone’s brain
l read in the paper that covid-19 diminshes one’s brain by 20 years.
Omg!!!!
He should be banned from flying or entering any airport for the rest of his life.
And that guy became viral… 🤦♂️ The world we live in now…
People losing they mf minds out here!!!!!
He must have been dreaming of his Final Destination
Why was he able to open the EE in the first place is the bigger question???
007?
1:08 A man jumps off a moving plane and there is no real accident that could happen?
Am I missing something. The man could’ve broke his leg or been sucked back into the engine. Like what.
Maybe he was just trying to get a Headstart to get off the plane because that’s the hardest part when you have all those people in the middle of the aisle
Is nowhere safe?
Glad he didn’t do that up in the air. Parachute time lol
Just glad that that sounded like it didn’t happen when they were in the air. Could’ve been much worse. Glad everyone is okay
Maybe he needed the bathroom like really bad and couldn’t wait for the deplaning process??
He must have gotten like 2 or 3 covid jabs
Airlines don’t care about your safety, not even a little bit.. that’s why they don’t have any security personnel on flights, God forbid they pay someone 20 bucks an hour to restrain unruly passengers
Interesting how this story got spun into a feel good alls-well-that-ends-well Mother’s Day story vs. the we-should-be-worried-that-this-guy-could’ve-crashed-a-plane-when-it-was-at-32thousand-feet story it really is.
This is stupid
Have a 7 hour flight in July, truly dreading it.
I guess it depends on how you look at it. It says “Exit”
It was a white guy
I thought taking a bus would be safer until, I heard about people bring guns with them for safety.
lmao
He needs to go get a psychiatric evaluation because open in the emergency exit and a plane while it’s trying to take off on Taxi is not a good thing
He wanted more leg room
Yeah, he did it on the apron. Yeah, impossible mid flight. But, people are becoming more and more unhinged. I have not set foot on a plane since the pandemic. Before that I was a regular and was always eyed by the crew, even asked if I could help should there be a disruptive passenger. Of course was my response. I am 6’4″ and an athlete, the cabin crew always reads people but they are outnumbered and require ‘normal’ travelers to be on the ready. Weird times, now weirder.
I work for a large retailer and behaviour of customers have become more erratic and desperate. They would do anything to get their way. Stealing to getting their money back disregarding a customer refund policy.
Dude must have had one he’ll of a panic attack to make him do something that stupid
Weird
They spelled plane wrong in the video description.. “plan”…
Just saying..
He marked that one offhis bucket list.
Big difference in “Moving” plane, and “Flying” plane.
if it was the pilot jumping out then theres a problem
All of these folks who are being crazy on a plane … just awful
Plane was n the ground !!!!!
And probably waiting tooo much to go to the finger
Just an explanation not justification
That should be the last flight he is allowed to board.
Can’t believe I scrolled through the comments and saw “SEE LOOK WHAT YOUVE DONE TO SOCIETY WILL SMITH”
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Guess we’re blaming William for every bad apple now.
Imagine if he opened in flight…
What is going on in people’s minds nowadays?! People have gone absolutely mental!
Yea this happened on AA a few weeks ago in Buf
He must have gotten the booster shot for Covid?
What would they charge him with?
Me: jumping out an airplane 🛫 😂
The people sitting by the exits are supposed to be on alert and be prepared to secure and assist the crews when it comes to those exits. They are supposed to be interviewed I thought by the crew when seated in those areas.
This person needs to be banned from flying.
Wow some people after covid acting very bad and are not the same confuse, very impatient and argumental.
He needs to go the hospital !!! NO sane person would open the door and jump out or he might of had a bomb in luggage and jumped
Off ???? The world is getting bad be prepared
