Airline Passenger Recalls Frightening Incident
Audrey Varghese, who was on the flight said her heart “sank immediately,” upon realizing that the door was open.
“The man was exhibiting some quite strange behavior,” Varghese said.
“As soon as the plane started coming to a stop, he immediately got up and charged to where the emergency exit row is.
In the process, he was shoving people, causing a bit of a commotion, ripped open the emergency door, and the slide was deployed and he jumped off the plane. It just happened very quickly. It was really shocking, to be honest.
Australian police say that they are still investigating the incident.
