The man who opened emergency exit on Asiana Airlines flight when the plane was 200 metres above ground faces up to 10 years in prison for violating aviation safety laws
The passenger, who faces up to 10 years in prison, says he was "under stress after losing a job recently" and "felt the flight was taking longer than it should have been."A man who opened an emergency exit on an Asiana Airlines flight in mid-air felt"suffocated" and wanted to get off quickly, South Korean police has said.
"He felt the flight was taking longer than it should have been and felt suffocated inside the cabin," a Daegu police detective told AFP news agency on Saturday. The plane was carrying nearly 200 passengers as it approached the runway on Friday at Daegu International Airport, about 240 kilometres southeast of Seoul, on a domestic flight.
When the plane was around 200 metres above ground, the man who police said was in his 30s without providing further details, opened the exit door. The passenger was taken in by Daegu police for questioning and told officers he had been"under stress after losing a job recently".
