He tries to open, in mid-flight and at nearly 9,000 m altitude, the door of an Airbus

But what fly could have bitten him? A passenger on an Airbus A319 simply went to see the flight attendant to tell her that he absolutely had to get out of the plane immediately, reports the BFMTV website. And therefore to open the door of the device for him. The problem is that the American Airlines plane was then at 30,000 feet (more than 9,000 meters), between Milwaukee and Dallas, in the United States.

The flight attendants simply told the traveler to return to their seat. But apparently impossible to reason with him. He headed towards one of the exits, attacking a hostess, so he could pass and try to force her. For all practical purposes, it is not possible to open an airplane door in mid-flight due to pressure differences, specifies the same source. Passengers managed to overpower the man before others grabbed adhesive strips to attach him to his chair.

When the Airbus landed, he was boarded by FBI agents. The reason for this astonishing gesture, to say the least, had not yet been revealed… An intense attack of madness cannot be ruled out!
