CHANTILLY, Va. – A man wearing military fatigues and throwing punches into the air tried to open the exit door of a jet during a cross-country flight on Tuesday night, airline officials and passengers said.
I don’t mean to be a complete shit, but there’s not a WORD in this article to the effect that there’s NO WAY he could have opened the hatch. All airline doors open inward, and at altitude, there’s no way you’re going to be able to do that against the pressure differential; there’s literally tons of pressure holding that door shut.
Wolfenberger said the man was held down and punched by other passengers as he grabbed the man’s leg. Air marshals then came and took custody of the man.
So where were the air marshals when the guy started fucking with the door?
And we need more information about this dude. Like, was he of Middle Eastern descent? Or was he just plain fucked in the head?
