South Korean faces prison time for opening plane emergency exit mid-flight.

A man who opened an emergency exit door mid-flight on an Asiana Airlines Airbus A321-200 in South Korea has been formally arrested and faces up to 10 years in prison for violating the aviation security law. The 33-year-old claimed he felt suffocated and wanted to get off the plane quickly. Twelve people were slightly injured during the incident. The man, surnamed Lee, told police he was under stress after losing his job recently. Asiana Airlines has stopped the sale of emergency exit seats on its planes as a safety precaution.
