: A video has recently gone viral on social media in which it can be seen that a male passenger attempted to open the emergency exit door mid-flight on a Korean Air plane. The incident occurred on Friday (November 8) onboard flight KE658, traveling from Bangkok, Thailand to Seoul in South Korea. The passengers were in a state of panic as the passenger tried to open the emergency exit mid-air. However, the brave cabin crew members intervened and stopped the man and saved the lives of hundreds of passengers onboard the flight.

The video of the incident was initially shared on TikTok by user Jackson Lee (@whojacksonlee). The video shows the passenger trying repeatedly to turn the emergency exit door handle. Fortunately, the door did not open, but the scene became tense as crew members quickly stepped in, surrounded the man and restrained him to prevent further actions.

It can be seen in the video that a female flight attendant jumps to the handle of the emergency exit door and stops the passenger from opening the door. Other cabin crew members also intervene swiftly and stop the man and took him to safety. The video shows that the man also misbehaves with female staff and also pushes the attendant who tried to stop him from opening the emergency exit door mid-air. A disaster could have occurred if the man would have opened the door mid-air. Passengers could have sustained injuries and also a plane crash could have occurred resulting in fatalities.

Korean Air released a statement explaining that the passenger had been sitting in a crew jump seat near the emergency exit. When asked to return to his assigned seat, he reportedly refused and began acting aggressively, making threatening gestures and using aggressive language towards the flight attendants. Due to his disruptive behaviour, the crew had to follow strict safety procedures to manage the situation.
