A man on a flight over South Korea allegedly ripped open the plane’s emergency door minutes before landing. Flight officials say the plane was carrying 194 passengers about 700 feet above ground. The man has been detained by police. NBC News’ Steve Patterson has the latest.

#NBCNews #Plane #Door
Indicted for endangering lives.
Unbuckle his seat belt & push. Next.
This why I do not fly anymore
To many nut cases 👀
Present company included??
😂😂😂
The guy that opened the door on the plane must be a democrat… because he had no common sense.
To
Me we need to stop saying maybe when we have verified video. It’s silly. Something posted days later, one video understand, 100 plus witnesses & videos there’s something wrong with innocent till proven guilty with new technology
Give that man 194 life sentences
He needs love, Hugs and understanding + possibly a quick debarking the plane plan for future flights
They are going to stop a lot of the general public from flying, and also walking into airports.
You see an agenda as well too eh? another fine *33* production
Allegedly ensenuates door could have possibly opened on its own????🤔🥸🤓🤨
Its too bad private jets are only for the rich
Maybe, but if you were rich then it’s possible that you’d regularly fly on one?
Ummmm, W H Y ? ?
he was looking for the restroom
Man? machine?
ugh. it’s stuffy in here.
mind if I open the door ?
Suite yourself but I suggest ya hang on for dear life
Passenger Detained??? Jailed!! Fined!!! And no more flying EVER for you!!! Not a plane, not a kite , not a balloon, or a drone for that matter! BANNED for life! When flying, sit down, stay quiet , enjoy the ride!! And keep your HANDS… to yourself!!!!!
Thank you 🇺🇸!
People’s mental issues and anxiety levels really need to be put in check before flying. Is there a rapid test for mental instability and anxiety level before boarding…if not they need to adapt one A$ap Rocky!
Just force people to stand at attention while 5 big strong thugs yell and scream at them and then see how they react. if they just smile they are fine. if they freak out, that’s not good, Not good at all
@acgillespie 🤣🤣
@Wildhoney .LOL
I’d charge him with attempted murder. One count for every person on board.
In my opinion the fella who choked out a man on a NY subway acted rightly. The idea of sitting and waiting for someone to open a door on a plane or shout threats before pulling a gun or hand grenade before there’s a reaction to an apparent threat is insane.
People are so unhinged nowadays with no regard for life.
Why should they? Just read all these comments people make? not worth the blood that’s inside of them pumping
Bann him for life. May he travel by car.
Simple he will get to fly again in the back of a military cargo plane and then they’ll just drop him off over North Korea his parachute he will float on down and left him have him and deal with him. After all he was flying into South Korea I guess he really needed to go to the other one.
Re-open the asylums!!!!
I didn’t know the doors could be opened while in flight. My piece of junk car has automatic locks, but a 400 million dollar jet has no lock out devices?
Now you know along with the other 8 billion others that didn’t know. seeds have just been planted now they kick back and wait for the harvest. Stay Tuned for that *Breaking News little later this summer*
And I thought those idiots who got up to get their carryons and stand in the isle while the plane was still taxing to the gate were impatient idiots.
There afraid of the ticking sounds they keep hearing in there minds
They should have grabbed the SOB and thrown him out
Give this guy an airplane ride and drop him off in the middle of the ocean, feed the fish 🐟
People have gone insane
It’s only because all the *girls gone wild*
“How can a passenger open the door while the flight was still up in the air?” This is an example of the best they have for a journalist? Did he graduate high school?
this will be a trend
people who do this must be subjected to waterboarding for a few minutes just to fix their brain cells
Being reported on a Korean site that the guy who did it was recently fired from a job and said he was frustrated with life. His seat was right by the door which explains why others weren’t able to react much in time.
My first thought was he must have been suicidal
He wanted to take everyone with him
@Native2458 I remember the pilot of that European flight did just that straight into a mountainside. And maybe the pilot of that disappeared Malaysian flight.
I thought the emergency doors required the weight on wheel sensors to be triggered in order to open to prevent just such an occurrence.
There are many safeguards. But the point of an emergency exit is to be able to open it in an emergency. What if the landing gear didn’t lower, putting no pressure on the wheels? Or if the plane landed upside down. If you require a code input by the crew, what if none of them survived well enough? Planes are smart now. Why couldn’t a plane detect a crash and unlock the door? That would require the avionics, electrics, and/or hydraulics to be working. All of these have been damaged while flying at altitude, for example if there were an uncontained engine failure.
The current safeguards work very well when flying at altitude.
There are a lot of questions that I have, so I can’t say why safety measures didn’t work. For example,
Did they cram so many seats in this plane that the door could be opened with the passenger in his seat with belt fastened?
Was there a flight attendant jump seat next to the door, if not, why?
Was an attendant in the seat?
Why didn’t the attendant try to stop him? But then again, the risk may have been higher if they intervened since they were so close to landing.
Just a few thoughts
What is wrong with people today, I swear. O.O
How are they not screaming at the top of their lungs?
They’re all probably gasping for breath. That level of high pressure is tough on the lungs.
Switch on your hairdryer (preferable on cold mode) put it in your mouth and start screaming. Share your experience afterwards.
Screaming does nothing but create more panic. People who scream and cry during turbulence need to just stop flying and take the train. A plane has never crashed because of turbulence.
Because it is not a movie?
with all that air in their mouth, impossible.
Ive been on planes before and sat next to the emergency door and have never been tempted to wiggle the red handle. Its just common sense, but common sense isn’t so common nowadays.
*OMG* -!-
He got aressted for open opening door
NOBODY forces anyone to take a plane these lunatics buy the tickets. Never thought I’d see the day that the airplane became the bus station
Don’t be that guy.
I think he either lost his job or dumped by his girlfriend, or both…still no excuse! How scary
Maybe don’t have seats next to the emergency door
https://youtube.com/shorts/tKijZta5VXE?feature=share
🔝
Maybe he just wanted a smoke.
I never understood why planes put passenger seats next to the emergency door. Shouldn’t the stewards sit there?
For the same reason you don’t put your kids or passenger in a bubble when you’re driving:
An assumption that they simply aren’t going to yank the wheel out of your hands and drive you off a cliff.
But you see, the thing about a Deathproof car…..
Yes, the disgruntled workers should be in charge!
mannnn really like what’s wrong with some people i just can’t wrap my head around the shi this guy pulled he could’ve killed himself or someone else in plane
“Recklessly engangering?” Um, that’s an understatement. No frequent flier points for him.
😂😂😂😂
This is crazy. Smh
Allegedly ?
Would I still be charged if when we landed, I 6eat this fool to an inch of his life?
Pilots and crew need a raise
Flight costs need to skyrocket to levels beyond what meltdown folks can afford
It’s all BS at its best
He’s gotta go gotta go 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
So, do we now need armed guards by every door, on every Jet?
Might open a whole new job market..
No… only cabin crew members.
Trump’s occult been trying to do that for years.
Trump’s bucket list
1984
😂😂😂
There is always some stupid lunatic in every situation. More and more these days as people become unhinged.
Was the guy Korean or Chinese?
Why are passengers even able to do this need better design can’t trust random ppl
I suspect another MAGA-NUT gone crazy thinking he was going to let in the angels in from Twumpy Gut Warts!
I am really surprised he didn’t get sucked out or even helped out…LOL
When you gotta go, you gotta go ..
Cars have child locks but planes full of hundreds of people can have the doors open at low altitudes… mind blowing
Crazy people are on board these days it’s very scary moment
He should go to prison for 20 years for doing something that STUPID
maybe he fell asleep and thought it was the bathroom door
Should be charged with attempted murder . Any excuse to get out of the act . Means nothing . He put the entire people on that plane in severe distress . It should be considered a act of terrorism . Because the act did terrorize everyone on that plane .
If you open the door, at least jump out.
Under no circumstance should the airplane door opener during flight.
End of story. Reckless design is the story.
I don’t care what the lunatic does, the door shouldn’t come open.
😮
I’m surprised that door can be opened so easily even after hearing the explanation. Let this not be a new trend. Some sick sob is miserable so he’s or she’s gong to spread it around by trying to cause death and destruction. What the heck is going on?
Thanks God, all are safe and blessed.
Stop using the word “allegedly” for people who commit crimes on video, in front of multiple withnesses and leaving no doubt as to guilt. It’s ridiculous.
Good riddance
The saints and the peace keepers will be on the no fly list tho 4th reich is alreay here
The guy needed a bit of fresh air
they need to install locking system on all doors which could be control and unlock by flight crew.
Man i used to love air travel not anymore. People are so rude and selfish and there is no excuse for it. My luggage is constantly lost and customer service is nonexistent. I prefer to drive and only fly if i have to.
25 years automatic, no early release, no sunlight, one piece of bread a day in jail, with these laws in place the world would be crime free.
I am glad i have my pilot license and a twin lear jet.
He wants to get off so technically you need to let him off. Your fault for telling them that we are almost there.
Let him off the plane now! You dictatorship and authoritarian government!
Bring him on another plane. Ask him to open the door again, to demonstrate how he did it. Push him out.
Wow.
No matter what once the plane touched the ground the crazy man would have lost all his teeth and conciousness.
Crafty lil feller. Must be a Mexican. Them lil ninos are super smart. They got a special kind of magic luck to.
Maybe a half breed or something.
omg
All that matters is work, sense and love have taken back burner for too long and this is what we get. But we are all too selfish to care
Ok”Guy”-
Back in Grammer school.
Least where my Buddy went to school…
I was expecting more action with things flying out.
Allegedly – whatever clod wrote this headline should ask the pax that saw this kook do it about allegedly
Too bad he didn’t fly out the door! 😢😊
Glad everyone is alrigh. That passenger needs to e in prison.
The other passengers should be allowed to reenact the hysteria scene on Airplane with the person who opened the door.
My question is how did nobody saw him while he was opening the emergency door to stop him. I’m happy everyone was safe
Why don’t they make a combination lock door??? I’m just saying it.
Looks like a new tic toc challenge
Maybe he want to jump outside.Crasy 😁
