A Chinese passenger opened an emergency door 'for some fresh air' at an airport in China

The passenger, who said he was feeling too hot and stifled, decided to open a window – but to his surprise, the entire “wall” collapsed and the emergency slide was deployed, reported the South China Morning Post. The incident took place at the Mianyang Nanjiao Airport on April 27, reports the Daily Mail.

“Because it was so stuffy, so hot on the plane, I just pushed down on the window handle beside me. When the door fell out, I panicked,” the defaulter claimed.

Retrieving the evacuation slide could be costly to the airline as it is a time-consuming process

This isn’t the first time that passengers in China have created panic on flights. In 2014, a Chinese passenger on a domestic flight opened an emergency exit door to get a breath of fresh air as the plane prepared for takeoff. In 2017, a superstitious passenger delayed a flight from Shanghai for several hours after throwing coins at the plane’s engine for good luck.
