A passenger opened an emergency exit door during a plane flight in South Korea on Friday, causing air to blast inside the cabin and slightly injure 12 people, officials said.
An airline official said a man in his 30s, who was sitting at the emergency seat, seemed to have opened the door when the aircraft was about 700 feet above the ground and about two to three minutes from landing in the city, located 240 kilometres south of Seoul. A total of 200 people were on board the approximately one-hour flight, including 194 passengers, according to Asiana Airlines.
Yonhap quoted other passengers as saying they suffered severe ear pain after the door opened. It said some cabin crew shouted for help from passengers to prevent the door from being opened.
