Flight makes emergence landing after attempt to open exit door
A Houston, Texas bound flight had to be diverted and make an emergency landing after a passenger tried to open one of its doors in flight.
All Nippon Airways Flight 114 was diverted to Seattle due to the action of ‘an unruly passenger’, the airline said.
Port of Seattle police said a man ‘attempted to open exit doors during the flight.’
The unnamed man was ‘having a medical crisis’ and had to be restrained by passengers and crew.
He was then taken to a hospital for evaluation
“We applaud the efforts of local law enforcement for their support,” ANA said.
Later, a second passenger was removed from the plane for ‘unruly behavior’ as it waited on the tarmac at Seattle Tacoma Airport.
The flight finally arrived in Houston about four hours late.
