South Korean Man Arrested for Opening Plane Door Mid-Flight Due to Feeling Suffocated

A South Korean man who opened an emergency door mid-flight on a recent flight from Daegu to Jeju island did so because he felt suffocated due to stress from losing his job. He apologized to the passengers, and an arrest warrant was issued for violating aviation security law, which carries a potential penalty of up to 10 years in prison. None of the passengers were badly injured, but around a dozen were treated for minor injuries.
