A passenger on a South Korean jetliner was detained Friday after opening an emergency exit door while the plane was in the air.
The plane managed to land safely with the door open, The Associated Press reported.
The Asiana Airlines flight had taken off from the island of Jeju, south of mainland South Korea, and was bound for the city of Daegu. It was still 700 feet in the air when the door was opened.
The incident happened when the plane was only two to three minutes from landing, according to CNN.
Passengers said that crew members shouted for help to stop the man from opening the door, but he nevertheless succeeded.
