Man suspected of opening Asiana plane's door nabbed

The police arrest a man in his 30s at Daegu International Airport, 237 kilometers southeast of Seoul, on May 26, 2023, as he is suspected of opening a door on an Asiana Airlines plane. The door suddenly opened in mid-air at 12:45 p.m., just before landing at the airport. The plane carrying 194 passengers landed safely, but some panicked passengers showed symptoms of breathing difficulties and were immediately taken to a hospital. According to an Asiana official, a passenger sitting near the exit said he touched the door lever. (Yonhap) (END)
