Meth-Induced Mid-Flight Drama: Woman attempts to open emergency exit on Korean air plane

A 26-year-old woman, under the influence of meth, attempted to open the emergency exit door mid-flight on a Korean Air plane from New York to Incheon on November 23. After showing signs of anxiety during the 10-hour flight, she was restrained by flight attendants and later tested positive for meth. Upon landing at Incheon International Airport, she was handed over to the police for violating the Aviation Security Act and drug abuse.

During the investigation, Ms. A exhibited erratic behavior, leading authorities to request a detailed drug appraisal from the National Forensic Service. Despite being in New York for over six months before her return to South Korea, she had no history of mental illness or psychiatric treatment.

Individuals attempting to open emergency exit doors may face up to 10 years in prison, and drug charges could result in an additional 10 years or a fine exceeding $76,000, according to News Sources.

This incident echoes a similar one in India in September, where a passenger on an IndiGo flight allegedly tried to open the emergency exit door mid-air. Suffering from depression, he was arrested for endangering lives and assaulting cabin crew members. The flight landed safely in Agartala, thanks to the intervention of both crew and passengers.
