Authorities say the woman was a passenger on a United Airlines flight from New Orleans that landed in Houston on Monday afternoon and was near the gate. She opened the emergency door and then jumped onto the plane’s wing and to the ground at George Bush Intercontinental Airport.
The woman was detained and police say she was taken to a hospital for a psychiatric evaluation.
Authorities say she won’t face charges.
Guess the bathrooms were filthy and she was in a hurry.
These airlines and authorities are really going crazy….why would you not prosecute someone who opens an emergency door while the plane is taxiing to the gate?? They continually seem to be so lenient with people who disrupt flights and disobey flight attendants. Flying is not a “right”; if you violate the rules you should be punished.
