Passenger Arrested in Mexico for Opening Plane Door and Walking on Wing
A man in Mexico got arrested for opening an emergency door on a plane and walking onto the wing. This happened because the plane was stuck on the ground for hours without air conditioning or water. The airport says nobody got hurt, but the man got handed over to the police.
Other passengers wrote a note supporting him, saying he had their backing. They felt the delay and lack of air on the plane were dangerous, so they saw his actions as protecting everyone.
The incident happened last Thursday, hours after the flight was supposed to leave Mexico City. The delay was because of a technical problem with the plane.
It’s not clear if the man is still in custody or what charges he might face. But angry passengers saw his actions as a life-saving move.
This story, originally reported by the BBC, shows how extreme situations can lead to unexpected actions, with some passengers seeing the man’s behavior as heroic rather than reckless.
