Asiana Airlines: a passenger was detained during a flight from South Korea for opening the plane door

When an Asiana Airlines flight touched down in South Korea, a man was detained for unlocking the emergency door.

The flight successfully touched down at Daegu International Airport on Friday with its door open, carrying 194 passengers.

According to local media, at least six people were treated for breathing issues and sent to hospitals.

According to the Yonhap news agency, the 30-year-old guy was detained as soon as he landed.

On Friday morning local time, Jeju Island’s flight OZ8124 departed.

Although the sequence of events is unclear, South Korean media stated that the aircraft door was opened near the end of the flight around 12:45 local time (03:45 GMT).

A passenger’s video of the gap in the plane’s side and the winds buffeting rows of seated people can be seen on social media.

According to local media, several young people in school were traveling on the plane to a weekend sporting event.

One of the students’ parents told Yonhap that her child was shivering, weeping, and scared.

Police, according to Asiana Airlines, have opened a thorough investigation.
