Passenger opens plane's emergency exit for fresh air

[Anees]

A first-time airline passenger opened the emergency exit to get some fresh air just as the plane was about to take-off.

Amazed fellow passengers got busy clicking pictures onboard the Xiamen Air flight from Hangzhou to Chengdu, reported scmp.com.

Maintenance crew rushed in immediately and fixed the safety door and the flight took off on time.

The report quoted the passenger telling cabin crew later that he “just wanted some fresh air… and hope the flight won’t be delayed for too long”.

Social media users went berserk with many commenting that he should have been penalized for the act as he risked safety of passengers.

However, the airline staff said that he was a “first-time passenger” and that “he did not cause delay or any other direct loss to the airline”.
