On Friday, during a South Korean flight, a passenger opened an emergency exit door, causing a gust of air to enter the cabin before the plane safely landed. The incident occurred on an Asiana Airlines Airbus A321 aircraft, with 194 individuals heading to Daegu from Jeju. Several passengers attempted to prevent the individual from opening the door, but they were unsuccessful, and the door opened partially. As of now, the details of the event, including how long the door remained open, are being investigated by Asiana Airlines.
