Passenger Opens Emergency Exit Door During Flight 

I'm more amazed at how calm the passengers look

That clears up a lot. I initially thought it was opened at 30,000 feet up and wondered how the passengers didn't freeze to death and suffocate.

Seems like that would be pertinent info to include in the story

As a News Network I would be embarrassed to show this article without mentioning what happened to the person who opened the door.

This isn't the first time an incident like this ever happened.

Who in their right mind would EVER open a plane door in the middle of a flight ??? What’s wrong with people these days???

Dude just wanted some fresh air.

Damn! That would have been scary as hell to be next to that open door!

THAT MUST HAVE BEEN A HELL OF A RIDE!

I would be absolutely terrified in a situation like that. I’d probably never fly again!

He was just trying to give everyone a breath of FRESH AIR!! He's really LUCKY no one was hurt or killed!!

I think what people aren't realizing in regards to how "calm" the passengers were is how the open door changed the air pressure and oxygen levels inside the plane. They would've been struggling to breathe at all, so screaming would've been impossible. And they weren't moving around because they were clinging to their seats trying to resist what would've been extremely strong winds. Also, dude was suicidal and changed his mind, I don't think that's arguable. I'm curious to know what happened to him afterwards.

I’m more impressed how that guy’s baseball cap stayed on.

There was a time that if the news told a story that someone had opened the emergency door on a commercial flight full of passengers while in the air, we'd be shocked to learn that someone could risk the lives of others so carelessly, but sadly, in this day and age many of us have witnessed people doing the unimaginable to others, a lot worse, therefore, we've become accustomed to this madness. The more bad displayed by the news, the worse things become. *We're on a downward slope, close to the bottom of the pit if not there already.*

I cant breathe just thinking about all that wind in their face... glad everyone is okay

The man in blue looks calm as hell holding his phone like it’s the norm before landing 😂😂😂😂😂😂 .

The most perplexing thing about this incident is the lack of "selfies" with smiling faces and "surfs up" hand gestures in front of the open door.

"Just look at the terror on the faces of the poor passengers" *Passengers look like they're sitting on a beach watching the waves on a windy day*

A full 1 minute and 12 seconds of this 1 minute 54 second video is devoted to people asking how it could happen and how shocking it is.

“Absolute terror” cuts to dead silence. “Imagine how they must be FREAKING out.” Shows passengers sitting calmly and quietly. Lol. Gotta love Inside Edition reporting

"imagine how the passengers must be freaking out" the passengers: 😐

I love all the “how is that even possible!?!?” Do you know what an emergency exit is?!

I’m surprised none of the passengers didn’t whoop his ass afterwards

This guy really let the intrusive thoughts win .

That evil man should be behind bars for the rest of his life coz for sure, he did that with the intent to kill. 😡😡😡😡

The question is why the heck management even alott a seat where one can open the window easily!??

So what happened to the person whom opened it? Did he jump out? Did he get arrested?

I would be suing the hell out of that airline. Period.

There will always be individuals who act impulsively or thoughtlessly and manage to pull off actions like these.

When you're just curious and thinking about should/should not open the door but the unthinkable happened!?!? Imagine the person seating next to you not wearing seat belt 🤦‍♀️

"Imagine how they must be FREAKING OUT!" Footage: every passenger looking chill as all hell.

When you say something's impossible, there's always going to be someone that will try to prove you wrong.

Well. It was mighty quiet. No screaming and hollering...

The passengers experienced a rare opportunity to embrace the gush of wind. So, they looked happy.

This daring act cofirmed two important facts: 1. A normal passenger technically can open the cabin door. 2. Plane may not always crash when a cabin door is opened mid air.

It's just a prank bro. The prank:

I woulda passed out or had a heart attack! Once we landed i woulda beat his ass lol

They should charge that man for something as foolish as that that could've been dangerous for all!

why people felt it was difficult to breathe: a phenomenon known as "wind blasting" happens where the air is forced into your mouth and nose at high speeds. This can make it difficult to breathe normally, as the force of the incoming air can overwhelm your normal respiratory mechanisms. When you cover your mouth and nose slightly with your hand, you're effectively creating a barrier that reduces the force of the incoming air, allowing you to breathe more normally. This can be compared to sticking your head out of the window of a moving car: if you face forward into the wind, it's hard to breathe, but if you turn your head to the side, it's easier.

That person must be strong to open that plane door while it is flying.

Curiosity kills the cat But in this case everyone dies

We've always wondered what what happen, now we know. Everyone was just fine, zero deaths, zero injuries.

Sucks for all! Sadly, many passengers will sue and make themselves set for life, although they don’t really deserve it.

I'm more amazed they kept stressing how scared everyone was, but it looked completely different then what they were reporting..

Theres always an idiot lurking. Gotta stay prayed up.

Only 600 feet of the ground?? they'll be alright.

That Man should be permanently blacklisted from taking any ✈️ in future.

What is this woman smiling so excitedly about the possibility of a pressurized door opening during mid flight?

Gods grace is always sufficient 🙏

0:40 old guys blue shirt is hilarious... " I'm getting too old for this. I feel the excitement. " middle guy say I'm too young to die....

That guy should be put down for the safety of people around him.

Imagine sitting in the emergency exit seat during that bro 😭

Just dont let me catch him when we land

Airborne soldiers:….First time?

The guy next to him prolly said how stuffy the plane's air was and how healthy fresh air is.

Fright alone would kill me 😮

Bro let his intrusive thoughts get the best of him

So is the man arrested or did they just let him go?

He tried to purposely end everyone on board lives. He deserves life in prison without possibility of parole. I don't care what his mental state was he deserves life in prison.

Should have kept it at 'it's supposed to be impossible so there must have been a fault', instead of telling every nutjob out there you can do it on approach. 🤦

My man just want a Fresh Air 😂

No one is in terror or "freaking out". Everyone is just like "close that please ts windy thx" lol

He let his intrusive thoughts win

He's the kind of person who'd unplug someone's life support machine just to charge his phone…

Announcer "opens it mid flight" moment later "about to land" 😂

Bro let his intrusive thoughts win.

Man they always mentioning hows it is possible. But never ask the person why did he pulled the lever.😂😂😂

That man should go to jail. Who the hell touch any equipment to attach to a plane

what is the science behind an open door mid air flying? mind blown!

pressure difference is what makes it ''impossible to open''. They were 600 feet off the ground, so there's not much pressure difference.

the intrusive thoughts won

Passengers Inside The Plane: I just need some air?

That lady is either not a flight attendant or they prepped her on how to talk like a newscaster 😂

The massive majority of people aren't able to do this purposefully. Your instincts will stop you. The second you open that door; you're the one in most danger.

If this was not a freak accident that caused the safety system to malfuction then the person should not be charged and instead a inspection should be conducted on other planes of the same model as it would be a systematic issue in the plane's design.

Sometimes on these long flights, you just need to get a little air.

What I cant understand is I have been told that the plane has secure door, when they have locked the door normally you cant unlock it unless the staff know the keycode so why they haven't build one to make it secure for everyone in the plane??

Why wouldn’t they throw him out

They say he was a real plane down to earth kind of guy.

the intrusive thoughts must have won

I can tell most of these passengers haven’t been to airborne school

That sure Sucked.

He let the intrusive thoughts win

It's only 600 ft in the air. Not a ton of air pressure on it quite yet. Still in a state of panic someone could obviously still open the door due to that adrenaline rush. Why wasn't this man strapped in though? He was just walking around and nobody thought to stop him?

Man i just want to thank everyone that was confused as to how it open for making me feel smart for using common sense

Why didn't he get out through the door? At higher altitudes the internal cabin pressure is too high to pull the door in, the out side pressure at high altitudes provides insufficient force to push the door in. However, at what point is the cabin pressure and external air pressure balanced enough where muscular strength could open the door, probably at several thousand feet altitude.

Nobody stopped him. No time? Or people just "stunned" or too scared when this "out of the box" situation arose?

So now we know we can open the doors when closer to the ground. Was this info necessary??

I imagine this will be the last time it happens

bro let his intrusive thoughts win

Get that main jail time for a mass murder attempt.

The door of an airplane is bigger on the inside of the frame rather than the outside, this makes it so that when the plane pressurizes, all of the outward force locks the door in place making it impossible to open. At 600ft, the cabin is already mostly depressurized meaning that the door could be opened.

I hope there ok

Dude mistakenly thought they were landing in North Korea and panicked.

Bro let his intrusive thoughts win

They should have threw him out and closed the door back.

I hope he gets sentenced to jail time

Why weren't any of them asking why tf that man opened a door midflight??? What kind of psychopath or idiot does that??

Damn this mustve felt like not being able to breath in front of the air conditioner on crack

I was put at the seat by an exit door and it never occurred to me to open the door, actually I was pleased because i didn’t have anyone beside me.
