South Korean police have arrested a man that caused a disturbance on a flight. The man allegedly opened the emergency exit door on a plane while it was coming down to land.
The plane was just a few minutes from landing when a passenger sitting next to an emergency door pulled the lever causing the door to open. This triggered the rest of the passengers to panic, no one was seriously injured, but nine people were taken to hospital.
