In a horrific incident, a passenger on board an Asiana Airbus A321 opened an emergency exit door A flight on Friday, causing other passengers to be in danger as the air inside the plane exploded in midair. A report by the Associated Press said that 12 people were slightly injured, but the plane managed to land safely in South Korea. The person who opened the door – a man in his 30s – was arrested by the airport police. A terrifying video making the rounds on the Internet shows air rapidly blasting into the cabin through the open door.
Citing a statement from South Korea’s Ministry of Transportation, the Associated Press report said the identity and motives of the detained person were not immediately known. The man was detained on suspicion of violating aviation laws on the flight to Daegu from Jeju.
A BBC report, citing local media, stated that the flight attendants could not stop the passenger because the plane was about to land. Witnesses told local media that the man also tried to jump out of the plane after opening the door.
The BBC report quoted police as saying the suspect had not provided any explanation for his actions, and was not intoxicated at the time of his arrest. “It’s difficult to have a normal conversation with him,” said one of the officials. We will investigate and punish the motive of the crime.”
The video shows the passengers’ hair being whipped by the sheer force of the air blowing into the cabin. The person recording the clip, who appears to be a passenger, seems to have difficulty continuing to document the development of events as the camera shakes violently. Another clip posted on Twitter by Breaking Aviation News & Videos shows passengers near the door, clutching seats tightly.

“It was chaos as people near the door seemed to faint one by one, and the flight attendants were calling out to the doctors on board through radio broadcasts,” a 44-year-old passenger told Yonhap News Agency. He added, “I thought the plane was exploding. I thought I was going to die like this.”
