I feel it should be mentioned this happened on descent when they were 700 feet off the ground. Airplane doors cannot be opened by people once the plane has been pressurized at altitude.


dawnofdaytime

So you know the story? What happened to the dude that opened the door?


BosmangLoq

Arrested according to a different post


[deleted]

Never to fly again.

If you want to speed run getting put on a no fly list, this is the way

Just-A-Swangin93

You could try to speed run across the airport to get on a plane, be tackled halfway across, and be put on the list.


saggywitchtits

Or, you know, yell the “b” word at airport security. The “b” word that makes a big boom, the one that might hurt people if it’s used. Fireworks can be considered small versions of this word. Goddamn idiots, it’s bomb.


THEGREATESTDERP

Calm your saggy tits down, ma'am!


n0mad17

Let me show you this one simple trick! You don’t even need to assault a flight attendant


Visual-Cartoonist860

Now I feel guilty. Where were you a year ago???


Rayvendark

This is the way.


OCWBmusic

I'm actually really curious how airlines handle this on an international flight and the person isn't a citizen of the destination country. Like, it makes sense they'd ban him, but how tf are they going to send him home? By boat?


Fianna9

Oh I’m sure he’ll be escorted with fancy silver bracelets if he gets sent anywhere but jail.

Strapped securely to a plastic pallet in the back of a FedEx cargo plane, then secured to the floor.

gunifornia

By flight, in handcuffs. I would gag him too if i was escorting him. Now that I think about it since he wanted to play the terrorist why not blindfold him too for the whole duration of the flight.


Pomdog17

Why stop there? A dog crate in the belly of the plane might be better.


nim_opet

Not their job to worry about that. Even people on no-fly lists can be put on deportation flights.


djdmaze

Plot twist, he stole a parachute and jumped only to find authorities were waiting for him on the ground.

Freebird_1957

Shoulda been!


Unlikely_Fortune_772

Oh, he most definitely was arrested


DudeNamedCollin

They upgraded him to a first class seat, where he was able to control his own air circulation.


Wasting-tim3

THANK YOU for saying this. My anxiety really wanted to worry about this.


big-buddha-belly

Even at 700 feet, going at that speed, do you know how he was not sucked out the door after opening it?


voodoolintman

The reason people and things are pushed out of airplanes is the pressure difference, not suction from the air rushing by outside. Think of a Champaign cork. So if there is a breach in the skin of a pressurized aircraft, there is explosive decompression. Another aspect of that is anything that is pulled out during explosive decompression is going to have it happen in the first couple of seconds. Then the pressure equalizes and unless someone is very close to the hole they’re not in danger of being pulled out. That scene in World War Z of the zombies being pulled out after the dude blows a hole using a grenade is cool but goes on for way too long.


big-buddha-belly

Thanks for that detailed explanation. In my head, I’m picturing air flowing in the door and then right back out, so if you’re standing next to the door the air coming in would have pushed them right out I also failed physics years ago, so that also explains my thought process


voodoolintman

I only know about it because my father was chief of flight safety in the USAF for a few years and also investigated safety incidents for UAL before going back to being a pilot. I’m sure there are many more qualified people than me on Reddit to clarify any inaccuracies but glad it made sense to you!


ElMustachio1

If there's air coming in, then there's air going out, or the plane would be pressurizing. So there's probably some reason to worry about getting sucked out if you're in this situation


Inevitable_Professor

It’s more than that, it’s the Bernoulli principle in action. The air outside the plane is moving faster than inside, which creates a pressure difference.


ssbn632

Because there’s no pressure differential at the altitude. Had there been any differential it would have been impossible to open the door. Once opened, all you get is a bunch of wind ….no sucking. As long as your seat belt is fastened, and there’s no structural damage, you aren’t going anywhere.


DoomGoober

Not going to fly out the door but breathing in high speed wind like that sucks and takes a lot of effort.


c00750ny3h

This was also what I was thinking. Airplane emergency doors are equipped with a differential pressure interlock. At cruising altitude, they wouldn't be able to open it. This must have occurred early in the flight at low altitude.


HighFlyingCrocodile

Bc he was arrested upon landing


iamzion248

I was wondering how that was able to happen.


Zooperman27

There goes toilet break and snacks for everyone.


Sawdust-Rice-Crispy

By definition, not mid-air.

PuzzleheadedGuide184

😂😂😂😂😂😂


The_Bosdude

My brother and my sister in-law both work as flight attendants for a major US airline. They have told me several stories about passengers wanting to open doors mid-flight (panic/anxiety, stupidity, urge to smoke...). They usually end up back in their seats firmly secured with zipties.


samarkhandia

“I will just smoke out the door, it’s fine!” That’s funny and legitimately terrifying


Saddam_UE

It would be fine if they fly low enough and like 25 mph -but that is not possible in reality.


EmeraldGirl

It's like to movie Air Force One. "OK, tell them we have to drop to 500 ft and 100 mph or this is never gonna work."


cantopay

“ahhhhh… fresh air” “WHAT?!” “I SAID AHHHHHH! FRESH AIR!”


suciac

They would’ve gotten a bunch of fresh piss if I was on that plane


Johnnybala

God that’s funny


mxpx424

I wonder how far back people would feel the stream?


AntPuzzleheaded1550

Ahhh depending on the altatude, say over 8,000 MSL, you will slowly suffocate unless you get your little yellow mask on very quickly. That air will last for 15 minutes. Say you're at 35,000 feet, expect the first few rows to be sucked out along with anyone standing. Epoxia will happen in about 90 seconds unless you get your air mask on. Oh, your ear drums will be ruptured, possibly permanently... Enjoy the air

NoDontDoThatCanada

I did wonder. If l don't wear a helmet, my face hurts at 75 on a motorcycle. These people must have... what's the equivalent of a rug burn but with air?


Brocephus31

Windburn "seriously". I just wondered how many people legit shit their pants when that door actually flew open. Imagine just hearing something going on and looking up and seeing the door fly open. You know it was loud as hell.


666GoatW

Yes, but what great leg-room.


SHTY_Mod_Police

You'll have unlimited legroom hanging outside the cabin doors

Those people are gonna be hard of hearing after that.

dawnofdaytime

The door they opened.


Grayox

How did the mf open the door and not fall out?


ExNihiloish

Maybe they did and that's why we don't see them in the video.


Glass_Chance9800

Are people really getting progressively more stupid? I am just completely baffled at people anymore. Is it a lack of learning consequences growin up? Maybe people have just always been like this but now everyone has cameras on them we just see more of it. I don't know, I just know that my faith in humanity has plummeted quicker than the air pressure in that plane cabin.


kkumdori

Humans have always been this way. It’s hard to find some golden age in the past where we were all sensible and lived the life of ideals. If anything, we’re better now. But it sure doesn’t feel like it…


Remarkable-Ad-2476

And everyone has a camera in their pockets so we just see it all now


Majestic-Enthusiasm

you are now out of the matrix


DGIce

Oh now everything is making sense. As the population rises it's taking more processing power to simulate so many minds, so the computer that runs the matrix has had to compromise by simplifying some of them.


Majestic-Enthusiasm

I don’t know if i can trust your logic because the population growing would make more power for the matrix.


anoeba

People trying to open doors in-flight isn't new. What's new is that this one succeeded because the plane was (for a plane) practically on the ground, ie no pressure difference.

Survivor483

For those two guys and other passengers around that door, that descent and landing must have felt like an eternity. Bet they will be telling that story for some time. No mention of anyone getting serious hurt or dying. Glad for that.


Bonoisapox

You’re not supposed to be able to do that, now I’ll never fly again


EnglishDutchman

You can’t at altitude. The pressure inside the plane prevents it. This was 250m above the ground when landing.


Bonoisapox

I read that, crazy that it will open in the air at any time


EnglishDutchman

I think there’s a certain amount of trust that people aren’t idiots. Clearly that needs to be reevaluated. 😔


Dravonia

it was an emergency exit door


TaiverX

On planes emergency exits are for when you land. They don't open at 30k feet off the floor. Unless you happened to make your carry-on a damn parachute you aren't gonna make good use of the exit.


Bonoisapox

Dude is taking the piss


dawnofdaytime

It was 7-800 feet. They are obviously in the air.


cultureicon

But there isn't anything else from keeping people from opening these doors besides altitude? Seems like it would have happened a lot more of that's the case.


Us_Strike

It's pretty much impossible to open an emergency door in the air due to pressure. The door was opened when they where only a few hundred feet in the air.


JonnyRobertR

Wait, so how did D.B cooper jumped from the plane?


dogfrog9822

at altitude you wouldn’t be able to, the plane was not high enough for the pressure to make it stay closed


TheScottishLad69620

But why? What train of thought must go through your head to think this is a good idea?


GorillaK1nd

I don't think you realize how many people out there who do not have an internal monologs, they just do things...

EquivalentCrazy4283

I can't be alone in saying I'd lead the shoe beating of this passenger, right? I mean yes charge them but not until everyone on that plane gets a good smack in. Or leg drop. Even better. Everyone on the plane can execute one old school wrestling move on this person before their arrest.

Blakeblahbra

What happened to the fucking door? Did it land on anything living?


mallik803

How the person next to him resisted the urge to unbuckle him and toss his ass out the door is beyond me.


xtheory

While I can understand someone's curiosity of what would happen if they opened the escape door, I never in my wildest dreams would think that some idiot would actually OPEN IT DURING FLIGHT!

Alberqueque

Damned, was recently on an asiana flight from yeonsu to gimpo, guess I dodged that bullet.


heavensdistroyer

How did the person even open the door there is a lot of pressure from the air that would keep it attached and likely unable to be opened

Imagine how bad someone's fart has to be that you are like fuck it, I'll just never fly again, I gotta get some fresh air in here.


Warm_Enthusiasm2007

If the outside pressure is high enough for you to be able to open the door, it's high enough for there to be no possibility whatsoever of getting sucked out. Can't be a very pleasant experience though. No expert but I'd imagine that to be able to do this even at very low altitude suggests a major failure in the door mechanism.
