Flier arrested for opening jet door mid-flight
The 33-year-old Asiana Airlines flier was busted Sunday for violating aviation security law – a charge that carries a penalty of up to 10 years in prison, said officials in Daegu, South Korea, where the plane eventually landed.
The man, who has only been identified by his surname, Lee, told cops he opened the door because he was “uncomfortable” and “wanted to get off the plane quickly,” Reuters reported. He said he recently lost his job and was stressed. “I’m really sorry to kids,” the man told reporters outside court Sunday. “I wanted to get off the plane soon.”
The Asiana Airlines Airbus A321-200 was carrying approximately 200 people for an hourlong flight from the South Korean island of Jeju to Daegu on Friday when the terrifying incident occurred. Its passengers included teenage track-and-field athletes who were en route to a competition, Asiana Airlines said. ZUMAPRESS.com
