  1. Glad everyone is alrigh. That passenger needs to e in prison.

  2. Too bad he didn’t fly out the door! 😢😊

  3. Allegedly – whatever clod wrote this headline should ask the pax that saw this kook do it about allegedly

  4. I was expecting more action with things flying out.

  5. Ok"Guy"-
    Back in Grammer school.
    Least where my Buddy went to school…

  6. All that matters is work, sense and love have taken back burner for too long and this is what we get. But we are all too selfish to care

  7. Crafty lil feller. Must be a Mexican. Them lil ninos are super smart. They got a special kind of magic luck to.
    Maybe a half breed or something.

  8. No matter what once the plane touched the ground the crazy man would have lost all his teeth and conciousness.

  9. Bring him on another plane. Ask him to open the door again, to demonstrate how he did it. Push him out.

  10. Let him off the plane now! You dictatorship and authoritarian government!

  11. He wants to get off so technically you need to let him off. Your fault for telling them that we are almost there.

  12. I am glad i have my pilot license and a twin lear jet.

  13. 25 years automatic, no early release, no sunlight, one piece of bread a day in jail, with these laws in place the world would be crime free.

  14. Man i used to love air travel not anymore. People are so rude and selfish and there is no excuse for it. My luggage is constantly lost and customer service is nonexistent. I prefer to drive and only fly if i have to.

  15. they need to install locking system on all doors which could be control and unlock by flight crew.

  16. The guy needed a bit of fresh air

  17. The saints and the peace keepers will be on the no fly list tho 4th reich is alreay here

  18. Stop using the word "allegedly" for people who commit crimes on video, in front of multiple withnesses and leaving no doubt as to guilt. It's ridiculous.

  19. Thanks God, all are safe and blessed.

  20. I'm surprised that door can be opened so easily even after hearing the explanation. Let this not be a new trend. Some sick sob is miserable so he's or she's gong to spread it around by trying to cause death and destruction. What the heck is going on?

  21. Under no circumstance should the airplane door opener during flight.
    End of story. Reckless design is the story.
    I don't care what the lunatic does, the door shouldn't come open.

  22. If you open the door, at least jump out.
