First time flier - China - Curt Lewis


Flier mistakes emergency exit for bathroom door while airplane sits on runway

A woman in China trying to avoid a long line for the bathroom on a plane opened the emergency exit instead, causing the emergency slide to inflate. The website Shanghaiist reported on Tuesday that the woman was confused and thought the door lead to another bathroom.

The plane, thankfully, was still parked at the gate waiting to pull back.

The 50-year-old woman said it was her first time to ever fly on an airplane.

Shanghaiist talked to a passenger who said the plane was getting ready for take off when they heard a loud hissing noise and realize the evacuation slide had just inflated.

All the passengers were taken off the plane for more than two hours while maintenance crews fixed the problem.

Reportedly, the woman had her ticket and passport taken away by the crew and, once back inside the terminal, was taken away by police for questioning.
