Seoul/ Hong Kong CNN —A 19-year-old Korean man tried to open a plane door mid-flight after complaining that he felt “pressure” on his chest, but luckily, the cabin crew stopped him.
The door stayed closed and the plane was left undamaged, and none of the 180 passengers on board were harmed in the incident, the airline added.
The passenger was handed over to police at Seoul’s Incheon Airport at 7:30 a.m. local after the plane landed on Monday, June 19.
Police brought the man for questioning and he has so far not provided a motive for his actions, Incheon Airport Police told CNN.
While the passenger’s attempt was foiled this time, the incident comes barely a month since someone actually opened a plane door on a Korean carrier.
