The aircraft had departed from Jeju Island and witnesses of the situation said that the man even tried to jump out of the plane after opening the emergency door.
Airline employees, along with volunteer passengers, managed to grab the boy and immobilize him until the police arrived after landing.
According to the information released so far, the man was not showing signs of drunkenness. When asked about the reason that led him to open the emergency door of the plane, he decided to remain silent.
In all, nine people had to receive medical attention due to respiratory problems caused by the circulation of rarefied air inside the plane.
None of the other passengers suffered any injuries and all were able to safely disembark from the aircraft.
The man was detained by police when the plane arrived at Daegu airport.
Whenever you're on a flight, follow the safety guidelines that flight attendants pass on.
Cases like this, in which the emergency door is opened, are rare, but have a high risk potential.
Fortunately, all airlines adopt strict security protocols in order to avoid any kind of accident.
For these and other reasons, the plane can be considered one of the safest means of transport that exist.
